 Blue Afternoon » The lyrics [+ Add +] |
1. _ Chase The Blues Away
Well come along walk with me
And learn the songs that lovers sing
When they believe
We'll dance along the river's edge
Just arm and arm along the moonlit shore
The midnight cries
Well I just came to chase the blues away
For awhile
Just like a child you'll cling to me
From every sound along that rushes near
It's just the breeze that licks your skin
and rubs your breast
And as we lay our river's flow away
Your woman fear
Well I just came to chase the blues away
For awhile
With the morning sun we'll wake
And lift our eyes and watch the eagle fly
Up mountain high
And on his wings our love will climb
And never fail until he soars and dives
Oh, he'll take your breath away
Well, he just came to chase the blues away
For awhile

2. _ Cafe
I was just a curly-haired mountain boy
On my way
Passing thru I heard a voice
Whisper good evening
I turned to a shadow
And saw her there
So all alone
She had those sad china eyes
That sang each time she smiled
Ah, but the song
It seemed to linger
So long it deepened
My love for her
Until she called me near
And then we waltzed to our heart beat
All around
The sea was swaying
The breeze was praying
Never to leave her alone
Alone
Oh, the time just slipped on by
And with the time
So did our love
Ah, her every move
Just like a fever
Just like a fever
Burnin' inside would not leave me

3. _ The Train
Ah, tell me mama
Ah, tell me darlin'
Now that it's time for me to go
Ah, don't you hold me down
And kill the man you love
Sweet mama what you gonna do
Ah, now darlin' what you gonna do
Mama what you gonna do for love
Ah, when that sun shines
Ah, honey
And I'm living in your love again
Ah, won't you let me know
Do I stay or do I go
Oh, yeah,
Ah, darlin', what you gonna do now
I said now mama what you gonna do
Now mama what you gonna do for love
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Ah, when I'm gone
Gone gone gone gone gone gone
When I'm gone
Darlin' so young and tender,
So quick to surrender
Everything that you don't own,
Know that you've got not
You make love like a skinned cat
Crawlin' across a highway
Tryin' to git to the other side,
Don't know why you just gotta try
Ah, when that devil
When that devil gets you honey
Oh, I want to know
That's when I'll come home and start to
Ah, sweet mama what you gonna do
Ah, sweet mama what you gonna do now
Aw Daddy what you gonna do for love
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone, Lord
When I'm gone, gone, gone, mama, when I'm gone
When I'm gone, yeah, sweet mama,
Yes, ah, when I'm gone
Get that devil get that devil
Gonna go back home, so long,
Just want to get some sun on my shoulder
And get a bit of sand in my shoes
I love you New York City, but I see that sun shinin'
And I don't want to stay here no more
Oh, what you gonna do
Oh yeah...

4. _ So Lonely
Oh, I don't get no letters
Nobody calls
Nobody comes 'round here no more
No pretty ladies
Nor pretty boys
Nobody comes 'round my door no more
It's just lonely, yeah
Mama you don't know
It's just lonely, yeah
Mama you don't know
Cops treat ya dirty
And the children treat ya mean
This is the lowest town I've ever seen
People keep draggin' their bodies around
Ain't enough pride to even look around
It's just lonely, yeah
Mama you don't know
It's just lonely, yeah
Mama you don't know
Now honey you got on little light
Now you keep it burning bright
If you keep it lit every night
Someday a good man come and make it alright
It's just so lonely, yeah
Mama you don't know
It's just lonely, yeah
Mama you don't know

5. _ Happy Time
Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind
When a melody does find a rhyme
Says to me I'm comin' home to stay
Oh, Lord, home to stay
I'm comin' home to stay
Home to stay
Ah, lord, it's just the same old story
Something about love for glory
A nickel and a dime a dozen
Fame
Ah, it's such a shame
Ah, the way they use your name
Ah, you know it's such a shame
When it's only mine to sing a song
Hoping that you'd cross along my way
Before I have to move along
Ah, now move along
Ah, but I'll be back again
Ooh back again
Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind
When a melody does find a rhyme
Says to me I'm comin' home to stay
Oh, Lord, home to stay
I'm comin' home to stay
Home to stay
Sleep late now mama
Let the mornin' sun warm your bed
While I'm away
While I'm away

6. _ Blue Melody
Well I was born a blue melody
A little song my mama sang to me
It was a blue melody
Such a blue
You've never seen
There ain't no wealth
That can buy my pride
There ain't no pain
That can cleanse my soul
No just a blue melody
Sailing far away from me
One summer mornin'
I was raised
But I don't know
One summer morning
I was left
But I don't know
One summer morning
So all alone
Late in ev'ning
I'll sing in your dreaming
Down from the mountain
Along with the breezes
So close inside
Love grew smiles
So if you hear that blue melody
Won't you please send it home to me
It's just my
Blue melody
Callin' far away to me

7. _ The River
I live by the river
And I hide my house away
Then just like the river
I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me
You would stay forever
Inside my heart
Inside my dreams
And time will fade
In time we'll love
In the street we walk as beggars
In the alley faithless kings
Ah, but it's the truth of life
That chains us in between
Those lost moments we steal
To keep our love alive
And our prize so tired after all the pain
And time will fade
In time we'll love

8. _ I Must Have Been Blind
Here I am believin' words again
Here I am tryin' to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin' for a love
That we used to know
Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind
To hold something real
And not believe it
To live in her life
And never trustin'
To give all you know and never feel it
To hold back each day
Until it dies away
Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on
Living that way
When so few undersand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind
