Larry Bradfield Poet Pantoum

There's No Room In My Heart -Pantoum

There's No Room In My heart


Well the blues come around now and then so they say
There's no room in my heart for the blues to begin
There's a tear in my beer, it got there just today
There'll be no teardrops tonight, there's none left to spend

There's no room in my heart for the blues to begin
Why don't you love me like you promised way back there
There'll be no teardrops tonight there's none left to spend
I can't get you off of my mind, but who's to care

Why don't you love me like you promised way back there
I've been down that road before, pretty little friend
I can't get you off of mind, but who's to care
I've been a fool, and will be a fool to the end

I've been down that road before, pretty little friend
I watched my dream world crumble like clay that won't mold
I've been a fool, and will be a fool to the end
My main trial is yet to come, one you can't behold

I watched my dream world crumble like clay that won't mold
Someday you'll call my name and I will not be there
My main trial is yet to come, one you can't behold
No one will ever know the dreams we used to share

Someday you'll call my name and I will not be there
There's a tear in my beer it got there just today
No one will ever know the dreams we used to share
Well the blues come around now and then so they say.

For contest Musical Pantoum, for The Silent One


All Song Titles By Hank Williams ( 1923 - 1953)

The Blues Come Around
There's No Room In My Heart For The Blues
There's a Tear In My Beer
There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight
Why Don't You Love Me
I Can't Get You Off Of My Mind
I've Been A Fool
I've Been Down That Road Before
My Main Trial Is Yet To Come
I Watched My Dream World Crumble Like Clay
Someday You'll Call My Name
No One Will Ever Know
