The Blues

Helpless heartless
Show me where the start is
Selfish Artless
Show me where my harp is

The blues are sung
And being sung
They take upon
A sacred hum

The cards are played
And being played
They bring along
No daily aid

Helpless heartless
Show me where the start is
Selfish Artless
Show me where my harp is

The weather dies
And having died
It takes upon
No sense of pride

The day is done
And being done
It lives on with
The final drum


Helpless heartless
Show me where the start is
Selfish Artless
Show me where my harp is
