First Piece

I am the blues man singing the blues Out of blue black memory Life tells the story, and I am confuse That you dance my melody While I am crying the blues I am the blues man, nothing more to lose Except the lonely song I sing Lost my bank account, my ring I am the beginning of what was right Got thrown away when the poet saw light But I got to be, got to be my own song Love wrote me blue when she did me wrong A picture is all you see when I cry A river is all you will see when I die I am a blues man, broken where I am strong Hey, don't pity me, pity only my blue, blue song
