Transatlantic Blues

Monday morning
I've been drinking with a friend
Spent the past week chasing heaven
But I just seem to descend
Into places I wish no one had to go
Guess I'm looking like I'm high on life
But I've never felt so low

Only passing time
Just hoping to unwind

Late December
Only god knows where I've been
But I've heard the sign of witness
She's my document of sin
So before you see I act like someone else
Tell me what else I should
When I'm still waiting for myself

Only passing time
Hoping to unwind

Cause it's a strange world
And strangest of all is the fact
That I'm with you
I've done some strange things
And strangest of all of the things
I didn't do to end up with
The transatlantic blues
Transatlantic blues

I've been drifting like
The wind across the seas
Now I'm washed up
On the same shores
Where the breeze once carried me
All I have left
Is every word I never said
When I see you every one of them
Still echoes in my head

Only passing time
Just hoping to unwind

Cause it's a strange world
And strangest of all is the fact
That I'm with you
I've done some strange things
And strangest of all of the things
I didn't do to end up with
The transatlantic blues
Transatlantic blues
Transatlantic blues

I know it's a woman's world
There are no
I had my share
I've been close to paradise
But no one ever took me there
against the chain
And ended up
In my own hell
Now I've finally got the time
To realize how far I fell

Well you broke me
I can hardly breathe
Pour that magic potion over me
Come on, kill me
With your sweet caress
Help me come alive
With every little bit

-Solos-

Cause it's a strange world
And strangest of all is the fact
That I'm with you
I've done some strange things
And strangest of all of the things
I didn't do to end up with
The transatlantic blues
Transatlantic blues
Transatlantic blues
Transatlantic blues

Monday morning I've been
Drinking once again
