Well I remember, your eyes were blue as diamonds,
the night that you were crying, the night I said goodbye
and I recall, your hair was red it was on fire,
as you set your heart to the pyre, its ashes scattered with the wind
And I think about you now and then, when I'm in need, I need a friend, someone to help me understand someone who knew me when I was young
Hey that's you, Eliza Blue, hey ay you, your eyes of diamond blue
And now I know, you're probably better off without me, to think that you had found me, when I was down and out of luck
but I recall, the nights we enjoyed our company, the freedom found in comforting the out of place and unbeloved
And do you think about me now and then when you're in need and need a friend someone to help you understand someone who knew you when you were young
Well I remember you, Eliza Blue, yeah ay you, your eyes of diamond blue
And I think about those better days like shadows in the rain
and I see another turn coming soon
at every crossroads I feel you there the trace of you is shining there
black highway, golden sun, blue moon
Hey that's you, Eliza Blue, hey that's you, your eyes of diamond blue
