The Blues versuri

The Blues lyrics by The DeCamp Sisters

Verse 1
I could lay my head down
But I probably won’t
Every tear is written on a book of notes
Sing them to the moths and street lamps
For a mild thrill
I could strum ‘till morning so I probably will

Chorus
I’m the „eyes-wide-open, coast-to-coast”-ing friend that you never see
Heavy footprints do I leave

I can’t sing the blues for the life of me
I can’t sing the blues for the life of me

Verse 2
The old man rings softly from the needles and the trees
Radiating the face and the skin on my exposed knees
Mother please don’t begin to think I’ve forgottеn of you
Never thought myself a ramblеr but now I do

Chorus
I’m the „eyes-wide-open, coast-to-coast”-ing friend that you never see
Heavy footprints do I leave

But I’ve been singing the blues to earn a keep
But I’ve been singing the blues to earn a keep

Verse 3
I could strap the latches and sit down for a while
Salute to the swamp lands and all friends of mine
But this little rays holds too little stars to see
I should go back after what has kept me free

Chorus
I’m the „eyes-wide-open, coast-to-coast”-ing friend that you never see
Heavy footprints do I leave

But I could sing the blues ‘till the death of me
I could sing the blues ‘till the death of me
