Lyrics

Modern Blue

[Verse 1]

I went to Barcelona on the midnight train

I walked the streets of Paris in the pouring rain

I flew across an island in the northern sea

And I ended up in Memphis, Tennessee

[Chorus]

I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you

It's a big wide world with a million shades of modern blue

[Verse 2]

Everybody 'round here moves too fast

And it feels so good but it's never gonna last

Everything I had is twice what I knew

But I don't have nothing if I don't have you

[Chorus]

I keep down my head down, I keep my eyes on you

It's a big wide world with a million shades of modern blue

[Verse 3]

Will you still be there when I round the curve?

Will you hold my hand when I lose my nerve?

Oh, I went to Barcelona and my mind got changed

So I'm heading back to Memphis on the midnight train

[Chorus]

I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you

It's a big wide world

I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you

Na na na na

I keep my head down, I keep my eyes on you

It's a big wide world with a million shades of modern blue
