Something Blue - Alejandro Escovedo

The wind took my friend away

Blew away yesterday

The government lies, children die

They still won’t appeal the court

Is there money to be made

Off the people’s parade

Selling broken hearts outside the door?

So I’ll write something blue

A melody I’ll play for you

I’ll sing

Yes, I’ll sing

Something blue

You claim the victory

Like a hurricane memory

St. James is hanging in the breeze

We turned another cheek

In velvet armor sheets

We sing for the workers of tomorrow

So I’ll write

Something blue

A melody I’ll play for you

I’ll sing

Yes, I’ll sing

Something blue

Nobody wants you

Something blue

Maybe you’ll turn to

Something blue

Maybe they’ll see

What the people need today

Let’s everybody say

Hey, hey

Now they’re smoking Rainy Day

The magpie’s flown away

Searching for love lost along the way

If this begin, it has no end

Let the one man band begin

There’s always time to tell another story

So I’ll write

Something blue

A melody I’ll play for you

I’ll sing

Yes, I’ll sing

Something blue

Something blue

Something blue

Oh, I’ll sing for you

Yes, something blue

I’ll sing for you

Yeah, sing blue

Something blue
