Bombshell Blues

Well, ain't it funny
The way you talk, babe
How you're so afraid
Of me leaving you
But then I don't leave
And now you're gone, babe
Watching all of the nights turn to blue

But I guess I'll be okay
It ain't my first lonely day
It's just another lonely way
Of thinking about things
Was it the freedom or the thrill
Climbing through that windowsill
That made you go and kill
All my hopes and all my dreams

Well, that lost lover
He's a beauty
Young and strong
A sight to see
Once a dreamer
Lost in a nightmare
As long as you own his legs
He can't go free

But on that lovely April night
I was pulling out a light
And glancin' to my right
To read the streetway
I was laughing at the rain
While my heart was softly shattered
A thousand miles away

So I'll sneak a cigarette
Sit in the barnyard
Friday morning, Eight a.m
Well, it's been a week now
I'll get up somehow
But it's gonna be a long time before then

Because I've looked in every place
In my heart and in your face
In the godforsaken space
Found between friends
And you're looking for the answers
In the pool halls and the dancers
But it's a love you cannot comprehend
For the lovers' hearts a token
His eyes are softly open
To a promise left unbroken
Divine love that knows no end
