How far, how far; how far is the sun from you and I
If you can see the stars tonight baby, I’ll write my love across the sky   How strong, how strong, how strong; how strong must these chains be

Insomniac

Question 16

Blues Is The Truth

Accepted Answer

First thing in the morning, last thing at night
They can be all wrong, they can be all right
They can be your only friend
Think you’ve lost them they’ll be back again   They can feel good, they can feel bad
Can be the worst ‘ole feeling you ever had
They can talk to you, just like a man
Right alongside you walking hand in hand   Ever since the world began
It’s been the same for every man
Not a lot that you can do
Blues is the truth, coming at you   They can take the shape of a girl
Same old thing all around the world
They can be your baby’s other man
If you’re a gambler they’re a losing hand   Hear ‘em in a gunshot the middle of the night

Hear ‘em in the sound of a lonesome whistle blow
See ‘em in a tail-light as you watch her go.

I curse my eyesight, for such a heartrending view
The day that I die, I’ll be looking for you

We walked and talked, down a little country lane
Where all hearts are new, we’ll meet again
Don’t say goodbye.
