Upon the wind, winds the voices of the boys she's loved
A whispered song that weaves its way into her heart
If she listens close, surely she will recognise
The one that stands before her in the dark
She thinks of home while he is taking off her party dress
She thinks of high school friends, of lovers sweet and kind
Well it's a long road between home and this hotel room
Between a tv tower and somewhere left behind
Oh baby blue, why do you cry?
Baby blue, why do you cry alone?
In the moonlight all the voices sound the same
Now he's gone
From the window she can see the fog come creeping
Rising up from its river grave below
Like a bride pale and white on her wedding day
The cities lights are veiled underneath white snow
What's a woman to the ways of an ugly world?
What's a man if not to deal out death and doubt?
Well she thinks it as she pours herself a strong one
She turns away; another one takes the easy way out
Oh baby blue, why do you cry?
Baby blue, why do you cry alone?
In the moonlight all the shadows look the same
Now he's gone
Upon the wind winds the voice of the man she loved
A whispered song that weaves its way into her heart
Well she's listening close
And she can recognise
The ghost that stands before her
In the dark
Oh baby blue, why do you cry?
Baby blue, why do you cry alone?
In the moonlight all the shadows look the same
Now he's gone
Now he's gone
Now he's gone
