Katie Melua [보컬,기타]

Got an angel, on one shoulder and a devil on the other,
And it's his good advice that I take.
I live with a sprinkle of a little sin,
When the world is asleep I'm awake.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,
But I never cheat at cards.

So you really think you're leading,
When we tango across the floor.
It's only cause my feet are out of sight.
Mine is the hand that spins you round,
Then it pushes you out into the night.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,
But I never cheat at cards.

With the roll of my dirty dice,
I'm only following the devil's advice.
I'll take your love and leave my kind regards,
But I never cheat at cards

The thing that makes me feel the most down,
Is the feeling that I'm living in a ghost town.
Barn door bangin' in my face,
Like tumbleweed,
I'm rolling 'round this place.

I see you arriving at the station,
But it's only my imagination.
So I'm begging on my knees,
Turn around,
And save me, baby, please.

From this ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.

Hey kid, I remember all the laughter,
Especially when we woke the morning after.
Why did you have to go away,
Leaving me to wander every day.

In this ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.

We were born to ride,
Side by side.
We are always reaching for the stars,
And they can still be ours.

(If you free me from this)

Ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
I feel like giving in.
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.

I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.

Living in an old ghost town

They say the world must end somehow,
They say the end's not far from now;
I think they're wrong,
Don't worry your life away,
Start living for today,
Don't think about tomorrow.

And if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.

Well I'm gonna try for all I'm worth,
To stay with you till the end of the earth.
Don't let me down,
Don't let your feelings win.
Don't give out, and don't give in,
Don't think about tomorrow.

Cause if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.

And if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.

I'll go down with you

If you're a cowboy I would trail you,
If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you're a river I would swim you,
If you're a house I would live in you all my days.
If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you'd read me every night

If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

I saw you this morning,
You were moving so fast.
Can't seem to loosen my grip,
On the past.
And I miss you so much,
There's no one in sight.
And we're still making love,
In my secret life.

I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do,
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth,
In my secret life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother,
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders,
I'll be marching through the morning.
Marching through the night,
Moving 'cross the borders,
Of my secret life.

Looked through the paper,
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people,
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking,
That it's either black or white.
Thank God it's not that simple,
In my secret life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told.
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone,
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold,
In my secret life

Every night we fall into bed,
But it's all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,
Was all in my head.
Every night you whisper to me,
This always will be.
Every night you smooth down my hair,
But you're not really there.
And darling it seems as if we know,
Our love will grow.
And then the next day,
I find what we did and we said,
It was all in my head.

Drowsy, drinking,
I keep thinking,
We're not far apart.
Scared of waking,
Lonely, aching,
Just me and my hopeless heart.

Sleeping soundly,
Your arms around me.
Through the night we cruise,
Then I find it's in my mind,
That you stroke away my blues.

Every night we fall into bed,
But it's all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,
It was all in my head.

It was all in my head.

It was all in my head

Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did,
One supposes.

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome,
He wore a moustache,
Must-a had much cash, too,
Worth a king's ransom,

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

David Griffith worked as an extra,
Then as a stagehand,
Until they let him be
A director

Dave was brave, a mover and shaker,
A true pioneer,
He seemed to show no fear,
A real film maker

Just like Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

They tied the knot together,
Groom and bride couldn't hide their pleasure.
They tried to pick fair weather,
But love died, didn't last forever.

A mask is easily placed,
On a betrayed and broken face.
A disguise to hide the past,
When you mapped out my skin and made the memories last.
Some things are never erased,
And I have run when I've been chased,
By recollections of you and me falling off our homemade castle

And even when I'm walking straight I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can't wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
'Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch.

Why am I fighting, what's it for,
Must let my mask drop to the floor.
My scars I shouldn't hide from the people who are on my side,
Rolling up my sleeves to fight against,
All the things I locked up and all the things I fenced.
But it's time to let it out so we can build a brand new castle.

And even when I'm walking straight I always end up in a perfect circle.
Oh I try but I just can't wait,
To break out of this perfect circle.
'Cos giving into old temptation,
Is like that common twitch.
Oh the silly stupid realisation,
The more you scratch the more you itch.

Scary films don't scare me now,
That you're around.
Since you been around;
Nowadays I never cry,
When the monster kills the guy,
And the psychopathic wife kills the husband with a knife

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Scary films just make me smile,
When you are here.
When you are here.
In your arms I'm not afraid,
When the aliens invade.
And the vampire's just a joke,
'Cause I know he's just a bloke.

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Zombies marching through the mist,
Make me think of being kissed.
And I don't care when peoples' heads,
End up being torn to shreds.

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Thanks for clearing my dreams

I heard that lately,
You've gone through a mysterious change.
People say you're secretive,
And you've been acting strange.
They say there's magic afoot stay away they all warn,
But to me you were magical from the day that you were born

I have become spellbound,
Spellbound.
You lifted me up high,
Now I don't know how to get down.
I don't know how to get down.

You're very different,
You are so rare.
Some kind of witchcraft,
Is flying through the air.
I'll admit I can't explain why I feel how I do,
So you must have cast a spell,
That's why my life feels new.

I have become spellbound,
Spellbound.
You lifted me up high,
Now I don't know how to get down.
I don't know how to get down.

I have become spellbound,
Spellbound.
You lifted me up high,
Now I don't know how to get down.
I don't know how to get down.

I don't know how to get down.
I don't know how to get down.

I don't know how to get down

Missing the train every morning at 8:52,
Sipping coffee from the same cup as you.
The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew,
That's what I miss about you.

The new way that love had made me see,
Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your key.
The knowing way you used to caress me,
That's what I miss about you.

You stole in with your starry smile exciting me,
Driving with you in your new car, feeling free.
If it's true that love is blind, then I was blind willingly,
You made me feel we had a future, that could be and would be.

The way you said I'd be no one on my own,
Your habit of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne.
The way you turned the light out when I knew you were home,
That's what I don't miss about you.

I bet you're using your weary magic like it's new,
Driving so fast with a new fool beside you.
Presumably believing she's the last of the lucky few,
I wonder if she knows she's being lied to like I do.

The way I only doubted myself when I was with you,
Like I was a fool for expecting something from life too.
Your skill of putting me down in-front of everyone we knew,
That's what I don't miss about you

How can I say it? Where do I begin,
Everything you are is just what it says on the tin

Words that were honest, spoken from the heart,
Everything you did was just what you said from the start.

You are the angel with whom I would gladly live in sin,
Thanks for being exactly what it says on the tin.
I never doubted, and though I never shouted from the roof,
All about it, I'm with you every day as living proof.

Ain't gonna lose now, such a lot to win,
'Cos I will always know you're just what it says on the tin.

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and i kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away? he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you

You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When I feel like hell
As I do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped caring
I've been wearing my new shoes
I've been wearing my blue shoes

You and I made the perfect pair
It don't seem fair
I loved you more than you know
Sorry I'm in such a sorry state
But while I wait for some good news
I'll be wearing my blue shoes

Don't feel like walking strong
Shufflin' along on my way home
Trudgin' down that shopping street
Where we used to meet
But I ain't buying
I'm wearing my blue shoes and crying

These blue shoes seem to suit my sould
Since you shot that hole
Since you shot that hole in my heart
And if I wind up on the sidewalk bleeding
I won't be needing my new shoes
Won't be needing my blue shoes

These blue shoes seem to suit me well
When I feel like hell
As I do now that you're gone
Lost and lonely since you stopped caring
I've been wearing my new shoes
I've been wearing my blue shoes

My mamma done told me
When I was in pigtails
My mamma done told me, Hon
A man is a two-face
He'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night

Now the rains a-fallin'
Hear the trains a-callin', whooee!
Hear the lonesome whistle
Blowin' across the trestle, whooee
A-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack
Comes echoing back
The blues in the night

From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
And heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night

My mamma done told me
When I was in pig tails
My mamma done told me, Hon
A man is a two-face
He'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night

My mamma done told me

The first time that I saw you
I said "for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake"
I was thrilled and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me
To a place I'd never been
You showed me lots of things
I'd never seen

You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
For showing me the view
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush

The next time that I saw you
You looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet
When I felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of only looking at the sky
You picked me up
And showed me how to fly

You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
For showing me the view
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush

From Halfway up the Hindu
From Halfway up the Hindu
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush

You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
For showing me the view
From Halfway up the Hindu Kush

You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, they never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
How much you meant to me.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

They say we never landed on the moon
There's no wind there, they assume
I guess conspiracies are nothing new,
But I'm sure I've been there with you.

And I don't believe that in space
The only life is here on earth
How could we be the only race
That loves and hates 'til death from birth?

But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you.

Is it true a politician's heart
Can rust away and fall apart?
I guess it must be hard,
It must be hard,
To know what's good
And to know what's easy

You might think it's strange,
For all my wild ideas,
But I do not believe that change,
Can ever happen without tears.

But I do believe in love,
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me,
But loving you

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and i kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away? he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you

You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape

And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I ain't got nobody, just to call my special friend.

You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow.
You know the first time I traveled out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow.
I didn't have no payroll, not even no place to go.

And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me when I was quite young
When I was quite young.
She said Lord have mercy on my wicked one.

Well now take it from me, momma,
Please don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, momma,
Please don't you cry no more.
'Cos it's soon one mornin'
Down the road I'm goin'.

No I ain't goin' down that long, long lonesome road
All by myself.
No I ain't goin' down that long, long lonesome road
All by myself.
If you ain't comin' with me,
Gonna take somebody else.

Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again.
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend.
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend.
I ain't got nobody just to call my special friend.

First of all must go
Your scent upon my pillow
And then I'll say goodbye
To your whispers in my dreams
And then our lips will part
In my mind and in my heart
Cos your kiss
Went deeper than my skin

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

First of all must fly
My dreams of you and I
There's no point in holding on to those
And then our ties will break
For your and my own sake
Just remember
This is what you chose

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time

I'll shed like skin
Our memories of lazy days
And fade away the shadow of your face

Piece by piece
Is how I'll let go of you
Kiss by kiss
Will leave my mind one at a time
One at a time
One at a time
One at a time

I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe
Watchin' you walking by each day
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy
You're such a shy boy

So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me
You could make it happen so easily
Woah, I'll tell you why boy
'Cos I'm looking for a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey, my reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to

Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy
And you could be my boy
I'll tell you why boy
'Cos I'm looking for a shy boy
Just try boy, you're such a shy boy

If a black man is racist, is it okay?
If it's the white man's racism that made him that way
Because the bully's the victim they say
By some sense they're all the same

Because the line between
Wrong and right
Is the width of a thread
From a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

I could tell you to go to war
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more
How do I know which is right
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight

Because the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time
Because the line between wrong and right
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
The piano keys are black and white
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Some call it faith, some call it love.
some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you, stars.

Some people think it's far away,
some know it's with them every day.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you, stars.

There are no winds
that can blow it away on the air,
when they try to blow it away
is when you know
it will always be there.

To some it's the strength to be apart,
to some it's the strange feeling in the heart.
And when you're out there on your own,
It's the way back home.

There are no winds
that can blow it away on the air,
when they try to blow it away
is when you know
it will always be there.

Some call it faith, some call it love.
some call it guidance from above.
You are the reason we found ours,
So thank you, stars.
So thank you, stars.
So thank you, stars.

I've got a ticket,
To the fast city,
Where the bells don't really ring,
Getting off the plane the cold air,
Rushes like bullets through my brain,

And I'm divided between penguins and cats,
But it's not about what animal you've got,
It's about being able to fly,
It's about dying nine times,

Aah x 2

Walked on Broadway,
Going up to falls,
With the old man I used to know,
The paintings on the walls of release,
Are colourful but they are no Matisse,

And I'm divided between penguins and cats,
But it's not about what animal you've got,
It's about being able to fly,
It's about dying nine times,

Aah x 2

It's about being able to fly,
It's about dying nine times,

Aah x 2

Gonna blame it on the moon
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon

I was fine, feeling strong
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault
I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon

I was happy to be free
Didn't think I'd give myself so easily

Guilty feelings in the night
As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon

Gonna blame it on the moon
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon

I was fine, feeling strong
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone

Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon

I won't spend my life, waiting for an angel to descend,
Searching for a rainbow with an end,
Now that I've found you
I'll call off the search.

And I won't spend my life, gazing at the stars up in the sky
Wondering if love will pass me by
Now that I've found you
I'll call off the search

Out on my own I would never have known
This world that I see today
And I've got a feeling
It won't fade away

And I won't end my days, wishing that love would come along,
Cause you are in my life where you belong
Now that I've found you
I'll call off the search

Now that I've found you
I'll call off the search
Now that I've found you
I'll call off the search

Every morning about half past eight
My Mummer wakes me says
Don't be late
Get to the office, trying to concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

So I stop one day to figure it out
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt
To sing the blues that I know about
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Minute after minute
Second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Working for a rich girl
Staying just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why

So here I am in London town
A better scene I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Every morning (a) bout half past eight
My Mummer wakes me says
Don't be late
Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

So I stop one day to figure it out
I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt
To sing the blues that I know about
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Minute after minute
Second after second
Hour after hour goes by
Working for a rich girl
Staying just a poor girl
Never stop to wonder why

So here I am in London town
A better scene I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
Life is just a slow train

So here I am in London town
A better scene I'm gonna be around
The kind of music that won't bring me down
My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill

Faraway voice
We can hear you whoo voice
What's it like to be heard
But from you not a word
Are you over those hills
Do you still hum the old melodies
Do you wish people listened
Over here with me

Faraway voice
What I would give
What I would give to hear that voice
What's it like to breath
My ears deceive me voice

And I will walk with you on a summer's day
And I will talk to you
Though you're faraway
And we'll sing through the years
Are you over those hills
Do you still hum the old melodies
Do you wish people listened
Over here with me

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light - one after the other
Won't help you forget him - when you're losing your lover
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues

When you're out in a crowd, the blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
But you can not forget him - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Lost my heart in its recipe
It made me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be

But I think more than I ought to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love
Listen to me...
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he, or am I going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready
For my love... feel unready
For my love
