Twelve Bar Blues

Those were dull and gloomy winter days
a line of hateful days without light
between  Christmas and New Year
nights without moon and stars

Screaming wheels along the streets
taking flesh and digesting souls
and thousands of bodies and million feet
are rushing to their final goal

It was all of a sudden
you left me sad and lone
and I can’t believe you couldn’t forgive me
and forever gone 

You were absent on a long trip
there was no call from you when you got back
then I heard a lie in your voice dim and flip
and when realized that, I became a crack

Blackness has thickened around
My fast train departs right in the midnight, oh, well,
it's a one-way blues in twelve bars of a broken heart
now good bye, my love, farewell, my belle.

It was all joy and wonder
when I first saw your skittish eyes
white flags on your tower and I believed our
love would never die
