Cobalt-Blue Eyes
Words and Music: Anne-Marie Fraser, Gary Clute

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
There's a story that haunts me still
'Bout a bride and a wedding gone wrong
And a woman with eyes like the midnight sky
Who's been hiding the truth all along

[Verse]
Was at the graveside I met her
A dark silhouette on a dark afternoon
The grieving family clasping their hands
And trying to comfort the groom.

The widowed man stood strangely silent
Among all the tears and the sighs
And I noticed that, behind her veil,
The girl had cobalt-blue eyes.

[Chorus]
She was a beauty, he was clever and bold
They shared a secret – and I never told.
They still haunt me,
those cobalt blue eyes

[Verse]
The eve of the wedding I walked through the night
Unable to quiet my mind
When I heard unseen lovers beneath the Oak trees
Speaking of things left behind

The man's voice I knew—it belonged to the groom
The woman's was tender and true
They planned for a future beyond the next day
If only the bride never knew

[Chorus]

She was a beauty, he was clever and bold
They shared a secret – and I never told.
They still haunt me,
those cobalt blue eyes

{Instrumental Break}

[Verse]
“Bride Dies on her Wedding Day”
Was how the headlines read.
Could there have been an accident
Or a sinister purpose  instead?

Though justice usually finds the truth 
buried among the lies
The detective missed a vital clue:
He was staring at her cobalt-blue eyes.

[Bridge]

    Well, don’t ask me to comment.
    The groom is a friend of mine
    And just because there’s circumstance
    That doesn't make it a crime.

[Chorus]
She was a beauty, he was clever and bold
They shared a secret – and I never told.
They still haunt me,
those cobalt blue eyes

[Verse]
This all happened quite some time ago
Though the memory runs deep
And sometimes on those moonless nights
I find it hard to sleep

They moved some way out to the country
Far from the rumours and lies
And I wonder: did he find Redemption
with the girl with cobalt blue eyes.

[Outro]
They shared a secret – and I never told.
They still haunt me, those cobalt blue eyes
 [Break]   Those cobalt blue eyes

[Instrumental Outro]
