Marshall Crenshaw - Blues Is King lyrics

rate me

(M. Crenshaw)

Blues is king

A beautiful thing

You just don't know whenever you're done by the one you love

And the joke's on you

If you don't know it's true

If you lose your dreams

You'll know what I'm thinking of

Yeah, blues is king

so let it ring,

Surrender do, to the sound so real and true

And relax your mind, go on, you'll be fine

Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it

So face it, blues is king

As the sun descends, rain begins

Everything in view

Is a dull shade of blue

And the traffic sounds, the lights uptown

Make a sad and uninviting scene to walk into

But the blue of the night

Everything in daylight

Don't even begin, to be as blue as the mood I'm in

You go out alone, on their way home

I'm wandering on, remembering only

That I'm lonely

And blues is king

Blues is king,

A beautiful thing

You just don't know whenever you're (torn) by the one you love

And the joke's on you

If you don't know it's true

If you lose your dreams

You'll know what I'm thinking of

Yeah, blues is king,

So let it ring

Surrender do, to the sound so real and true

Just relax your mind,

Go on, you'll be fine

Surrender do, 'cause you'll never displace it

So face it, blues is king
