Tie-Dye Quartet - Feelin' Blue lyrics

Chorus: -------- Well it's a sorry state of affairs The way my boy keeps rambling on And it's a tragic way to live life When I don't know if he'll be gone I try my best to entertain but he's just like a bu*terfly With the wind like a whisp on a whim oh Lord I know I'm gonna lose my guy Well it's a sorry state of affairs I know my boy is going away -------- Just last week I took him out for the day To a little place I know where the surf and sand play Thought out there he'd have nothing to distract him And he'd hold me in his arms for a lifetime of hours But Soon enough I saw his eyes glint at the sky At his latest novelty for which to leave me behind He saw a cliff, saw a view, for all I know he saw you And he left me down here just singing the blues **Repeat Chorus** On our very first date he looked me deep in the eyes And he got from me the things that I would normally hide We fell in love in every possible way And we didn't get to bed 'til the break of day We talked of jazz, and love, and loving jazz And we danced to Coltrane on a strange rooftop But On our second date he brought a friend to the show 'Cause I'd told him everything but this girl was unknown How could I compete with your mystery? Oh soon enough they left and forgot about me They took the jazz, took the swing, took the be-bop too And they left me down here just surrounded by blues **Repeat Chorus** I don't know who you are but I've a plea for you Please don't take my boy away and leave me feelin' blue
