I Threw Then Away

Since you've been gone, I've been so sad The silence within these four walls is driving me mad No smell of burnt toast or overcooked eggs in the air Don't have to unclog the shower drain from your hair The blues reappeared when you left that day A year ago I threw them away Now it's been a month and not a word from you I am feeling better,I am now with your best friend Sue Never come back this way, we are cruisin' fine We have an understanding, I am not hers and she is not mine The blues have been evicted, they can no longer stay Once again, I threw them away What are you doing at my door with that smile You gave me a look with tears, like that of a lost child You are no longer needed here, get away from me Your love no longer has a way of blinding me I see you have your suitcase full of blues for me to play Neither them or you are invited to stay The neighbors call the police and report a domestic dispute The cops come and give me the boot I must go cool off at a friend's house for the night My house is cleaned out when I return in the daylight I lost in a game I was forced to play The blues seem to never quite go away
