  • Say goodbye to the brilliant blues
    Say goodbye

    It's time, to live
    Make me, take me
    It's time, to give
    So don't betray me, pay me

    The brilliant blues
    Don't want to be frozen
    I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe
    I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions
    I know that now is the time to say

    It's time, to teach
    So tell me, come on tell me
    It's time, to preach
    So help me, come on and help me

    The brilliant blues
    Will never flow this way again
    The color of the river is gray
    The brilliant blues
    Have faded into sadness and pain,
    And now it's time to say, it's time

    You and me are going to finally sail away
    We'll get far away from the blues and the mist and the rain
    You and me are going to fight until we win the day
    For now is the time we must say goodbye
    To the brilliant blues

    The brilliant blues
    Don't want to be frozen
    I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe
    I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions
    I know that now is the time to say

    It's time, to trust
    So buy me, come on try me
    It's time, to thrust
    Guide me, stay beside me

    The brilliant blues
    Will never flow this way again
    The color of the river is gray
    The brilliant blues
    Have faded into sadness and pain,
    And now is the time to say, it's time Writer/s: PETER DENNIS BLANDFOR TOWNSHEND
