Almost Blue - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Almost blue

Almost doing things we used to do

There's a girl here and she's almost you

Almost

All the things that your eyes once promised

I see in hers too

Now your eyes are red from crying

Almost blue

Flirting with this disaster became me

It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

Almost blue

It's almost touching

It will almost do

There is part of me that's always true

Always

Not all good things come to an end
Now it is only a chosen few

I have seen such an unhappy couple

Almost me

Almost you

Almost blue
