The Death Of The Blues

The Death of the Blues (Volker, D. Malone)

We can't laugh anymore the way we used to do
At the self-important people like some crazy fools
You got to watch your mouth, who you're givin' it to
If you hurt somebody, might catch the death of the blues,
The death of the blues
We might get what we want, but too late we find what we lose

We can't cry anymore when we're feelin' blue
All the real important people might think you're a crazy fool
You've got to watch your tears, who you're showin' them to
If you let them fall, might catch the death of the blues,
The death of the blues
We might get what we want, but too late we find what we lose

We can't play anymore like kids right after school
All the self-important people always got more work to do
You got to watch your time, who you're givin' it to
If you have some fun, might catch the death of the blues,
The death of the blues
We might get what we want, but too late we find what we lose

We can't love anymore with a love that's strong and true
All the self-important people might think you're a crazy fool
You got to watch your heart, who you're givin' it to
If you love somebody, might catch the death of the blues
The death of the blues
We might get what we want, but too late we find what we lose
We might get what we want, but too late we find what we lose
