Blue Charlotte - John Mellencamp

Exhausted by too many tears

Trouble is everywhere

Hold you in my arms

Blue Charlotte

While your eyes gaze up at me

I’m not the man I used to be

You still own my heart

Blue Charlotte

Look away, look away

They’re so precious, these last few days

Look away, look away

We watch as it comes to an end

Blue Charlotte

And if you pass tonight in your sleep

You will still have me to weep

I’m all that remains here

Blue Charlotte

Yellow letters from your youth

All of them seeking truth

The poems written from me to you

Blue Charlotte

Look away, look away

They’re so precious, these last few days

Look away, please look away

We watch all that screams

Blue Charlotte

Look away, look away

We watch as autumn comes to an end

Blue Charlotte

It’s a long, long way from here

Our reflection in the mirror

Now you’ve closed your eyes

Blue Charlotte

It’s a slow walk to the grave

Here we are together today

You’ve been my whole life

Blue Charlotte

Look away, look away

They’re so precious, these last few days

Look away, look away

We watch as something new begins

Blue Charlotte
