John Fante's Blues
You may sneer at me my friend
That i worshipped the flame
So much that i became
Its very fuel in the end
But your inner light for which i yearned
I thought it could only bronze not burn
Like a dirty lesson to be learned
I was soon to be fooled, to be spurned
Oh and now what have i got to lose
Now that love's just a lonesome bruise
You left on my sickly skin
Oh to sing the blues
Oh would you give in now
Oh would you let it out
Oh would you let the light pour out for me
Is it for your dignity that you cry
Like a baby star fallen from the sky
To me it seems you just stumbled on a lie
And never dared to reply
The years storm up like furious clouds
And twist away in a shapeless crowd
The whole sky is moving and your body shouts
Your head is dry
But your mind it is wet
If love was born under the nights of june
Well it's dead now but only like the moon
No one really knows how soon
The light, it'll be going out
Oh would you give in now
Oh would you let it out
Oh would you let the light pour out for me
That i worshipped the flame
So much that i became
Its very fuel in the end
But your inner light for which i yearned
I thought it could only bronze not burn
Like a dirty lesson to be learned
I was soon to be fooled, to be spurned
Oh and now what have i got to lose
Now that love's just a lonesome bruise
You left on my sickly skin
Oh to sing the blues
Oh would you give in now
Oh would you let it out
Oh would you let the light pour out for me
Is it for your dignity that you cry
Like a baby star fallen from the sky
To me it seems you just stumbled on a lie
And never dared to reply
The years storm up like furious clouds
And twist away in a shapeless crowd
The whole sky is moving and your body shouts
Your head is dry
But your mind it is wet
If love was born under the nights of june
Well it's dead now but only like the moon
No one really knows how soon
The light, it'll be going out
Oh would you give in now
Oh would you let it out
Oh would you let the light pour out for me
