Heavenly Blues
Outlaws Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jones-Paul

Mornin' brings the sunlight
Risin' in my heart
It's only us together on the phone
Through the magic line I find
It's only us apart
Never hurts to know you're not alone

But if you must know the reason
Heavenly skies are blue
And why it breaks my heart
To say goodbye
It's only that I love you
You know I always will
You and your heavenly blues

Racing through the timeless days
While I'm so alone
Laughter in my dreams
Stay for awhile
When I wake to find you're gone
I'm never far from home
Never too far gone to feel your smile

But if you must know the reason
Heavenly skies are blue
And why it breaks my heart
To say goodbye
It's only that I love you
You know I always will
You and your heavenly blues

You and your heavenly blues

I love the captured sorrow
Beyond tommorow's blues
Hear the caged bird
Sing her lonely song
She's singing that for you and me
And all the world to see
Her tender strength remains for every song

But if you must know the reason
Heavenly skies are blue
And why it breaks my heart
To say goodbye
It's only that I love you
You know I always will
You and your heavenly blues

You and your heavenly




You and your heavenly
You and your heavenly blues

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Heavenly Blues" by Outlaws express the emotions of a lover who is separated from their loved one by distance. The imagery of the song is that of a morning bringing sunlight, representing new hope in the face of separation, bond continuing through means like a phone call. The lines, "Never hurts to know you're not alone," suggest that the singer takes solace in knowing that their loved one is still present in their lives, even if not physically. The lyricist then jumps to the statement that "Heavenly skies are blue," a phrase that has typically implied happiness, but here it signifies the color of separation and longing.


The second verse builds upon the theme of longing for a loved one, but the main character continues to find comfort in the little joys they share, such as laughter in their dreams or a smile that they can feel even when physically apart. The final verse recognizes the strength of the power of love and its ability to transcend physical distance. It references a caged bird that sings a lonely song but continues to find the courage to keep going. The lyrics of the song encourage the listener to persevere through challenges and to find comfort in the knowledge that love can survive through time and space.
