Blue Turns To Grey (Constable/Jagger/Richards)

Well, now that she is gone,

You won't feel bad for long,

For maybe just an Hour or 

Just a moment of the day --

Then blue turns to grey

And try as you may.

You just don't feel good --

And you don't feel alright.

And you know that

You must find her

Find her, find her . . .

She's not home when you call,

So you then go to All

The places where she likes to be,

But she has gone away --

Then blue turns to grey

And try as you may

You just don't feel good --

And you don't feel alright.

And you know that

You must find her

Find her, find her . . .

(International Klein) Blue Turns To (Bering Sea) Grey

Well, now that she is gone,

You won't feel bad for long,

For maybe just an Hour or 

Just a Moment of the day --

Then blue turns to grey!

And try as you may.

You just don't feel good --

And you don't feel alright.

And you know that

You must find her

Find her, find her!

She's not home when you call,

So you then go to All

The places where she likes to be,

But she has gone away --

Then blue turns to grey!

And try as you may

You just don't feel good --

And you don't feel alright.

And you know that

You must find her

Find her, find her!

2.  Bering Sea. Named for Vitus Bering (1681-1741), a Danish navigator in Russian service, who in 1728 was the first European to systematically explore it.  Sailing from the Pacific Ocean northward to the Arctic Ocean, after Semyon Dezhnyov and Fedot Popov in 1648, Vitus Bering was the first known explorer to pass between Asia and North America and thus prove that they are separate continents, though he did not realize it at the time.
