Something Blue

The wind took my friend away Blew away yesterday The government lies, children die They still won't appeal the court Is there money to be made Off the people's parade Selling broken hearts outside the door? So I'll write something blue A melody I'll play for you I'll sing Yes, I'll sing Something blue You claim the victory Like a hurricane memory St. James is hanging in the breeze We turned another cheek In velvet armor sheets We sing for the workers of tomorrow So I'll write Something blue A melody I'll play for you I'll sing Yes, I'll sing Something blue Nobody wants you Something blue Maybe you'll turn to Something blue Maybe they'll see What the people need today Let's everybody say Hey, hey Now they're smoking Rainy Day The magpie's flown away Searching for love lost along the way If this begin, it has no end Let the one man band begin There's always time to tell another story So I'll write Something blue A melody I'll play for you I'll sing Yes, I'll sing Something blue Something blue Something blue Oh, I'll sing for you Yes, something blue I'll sing for you Yeah, sing blue Something blue --- Something Blue - Alejandro Escovedo
