You left early this morning, a lil’ after six
You left early this morning, to somewhere a lil’ after six
Dressed quietly, watching the clock
Scribbling “I’m sorry” on a pack of L&Ms 1
A few strands of hair lay on the pillow
A few strands of blond hair lay on the pillow
And almost mechanically, what you said, bassist
I begin to wrap the hair around my finger, wondering whose name is last in the alphabet
Whose life is a boogie-woogie, and whose life is complete nonsense
Whose life is a boogie-woogie, well, at least my life is nonsense
Half-drunk beer, empty mosquitoes
Overlooking sleep, didn't see the hit
I was looking for you here and there, and I thought I was going crazy
I was looking for you here and there, and I thought I was going crazy
Oh guitar and strings, the holy alliance
When love throws down, the blues begins
When love throws down, the blues begins
When love throws down, the blues stays
