Here's the music video for the track Blue:

I’m blue, so blue how am i going to get through.
You tore my heart a part when i thought that love was our's.
A fool what a fool.

I’m blue, so blue
That’s why i’m singing, singing the blues.
I’m alone and broken hearted with thoughts that leave me blinded.
of you, what a fool.

It's midnight, the moonlight rests uneasy in my heart.
It longs for your embrace that gave me so much joy.

But i’m blue, so blue
I hope the blues they followed you.
You said we were forever so i shed away my amour. For you, what a fool.

The sunrise, the sunlight rests uneasy in my heart.
It longs for your embrace that gave me so much joy.

But i’m blue, so blue
Find me the courage to battle on through.
Love is just for fools. Futile and bemused.
A fool, i’m not a fool.

But i’m blue, da da da de do, ba ba de do do do. I’m blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue,so blue, so blue.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh,
I'm blue, blue, blue, blue,blue, blue, blue, blue, so blue,
da da de doooooo.
