Questions go unanswered
I lie awake
The world is still turning
At the same rate
Everybody wonders
Why it’s not right
Everybody has time to think
Late at night

How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello

Questions go unanswered
I sit alone
My head is clearing
But my thoughts they still roam
Time doesn’t stop
For any one man
But you can try
Catch it if you can

How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello


Questions go unanswered
I walk the crowd
No one is talking
But we all think too loud
Everyone has questions
No one’s got answers
But we need an anchor
Or the line always blurs

How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello


Questions go unanswered
As I sing this song
Guess we all knew this
All along
Just take a hand
And you won’t need so much
At least take some comfort
Someone understands enough

How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello


How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
