Here's a mess of blue...
The only thing you gave
I keep it with me all the time
The only thing that I could save

Here's a mess of blues
The kind that follow you
That will not let you sleep
The kind that keep on bugging you

Out in the world, is life going on?
And nothing can come through my door
And nobody laughs and nobody sighs
And nobody will, there's no-one to try

Here's a mess of blues
The only thing that I could find
You took everything
At least I know that this is mine

Well Bessy learned the blues
Was it on a perfect day
Did it make her so afraid
To know that she could hurt that way

Out in the world is life going on?
And nothing can come through my door
And nobody laughs and nobody sighs
And nobody will, there's no-one to try

Here's a mess of blues
The only thing you gave
I keep it with me all the time
The only thing that I could save

Keep it with me all the time
The only thing that I could save

Keep it with me all the time
The only thing that I could save
