Lyrics
Singing The Blues
Words & Music by Marc Hockley
There’s too many voices singing the blues
All those broken marriages & old tattoos
I’m so damn glad that I met you
That’s why I don’t sing, sing the blues
Tammy was a party girl
Every night a social whirl
Life was fast but time was cruel
Now she waits but no one calls
Drinking solo chasing thrills
But sorrow doesn’t pay bar bills
Time will creep up on us all
Deep regrets come one & all
John gave the bank some 40 years
Met his wife, two children reared
He live to work, worked all his life
But he forgot to please his wife
Slipping Jimmy played the fool
Saw the prize and took it all
He got his & he got yours
Now he lies behind locked doors
So many cautionary tales
Too many coming off the rails
But I have you to keep me sane
My sunshine in the rain
I don’t sing them
I don’t sing the blues
