All i see is darkness




Blue soul blues

1.Hey cat,
This house is not a home,
So I’ll be out tonight,
You’ll be fine on your own.

2.Street lamp,
Shine your light like a dart,
Into the lightest body
And the heaviest heart.

3.Street dog,
Can I lay down and drink,
I smoked too much these days
And can no longer sing.

4.Blue soul,
Let’s not be dead,
You’ve been blue these days,
But we’ll paint the town red.

Lonely in a crowd



Nothing in common

1.The things that make me happy
Are so few, baby, so few,
I don’t even mention them,
They mean nothing to you.
A few guitar chords in the dark,
When I walk at night in the park
Coming home from wherever I’ve been.

2.The things that make my heart sing
Are so blue, baby, so blue,
They make everyone fall asleep,
Like they do with you, too.
Writing a poem now and then,
About lonesome women and men,
A distraction from what can’t be unseen.

3.I try hard to socialize
Like now, baby, you see,
But I quickly realize
It means nothing to me.
So why waste time and space with it,
I would be such a hypocrite,
So I go sit alone by a blue stream.
