A few years ago, I picked up a used vinyl copy of the Let’s Get Lost soundtrack and Almost Blue is the finale on the B side. It’s a hell of a mic drop moment to leave the world.
I do like the lyric better as "almost touching". Interesting how the ommision of "it's" changes the flow of the sentence a bit and adds a different layer of meaning, different tone and imagery even. Every word has its value. That was a perceptive observation.
Almost Blue, Down in the Blue Chair - Did Elvis Costello write any other songs specifically structured around the word blue ?

While we’re on the color
Blue
Songs are like tattoo’s
Lines beautifully written lead to the remembrance of others.
