Tie-Dye Quartet: Feelin' Blue

Chorus:
--------
Well it's a sorry state of affairs

The way my boy keeps rambling on

And it's a tragic way to live life

When I don't know if he'll be gone

I try my best to entertain but he's just like a butterfly

With the wind like a whisp on a whim oh Lord

I know I'm gonna lose my guy

Well it's a sorry state of affairs

I know my boy is going away
--------


Just last week I took him out for the day

To a little place I know where the surf and sand play

Thought out there he'd have nothing to distract him

And he'd hold me in his arms for a lifetime of hours

But

Soon enough I saw his eyes glint at the sky

At his latest novelty for which to leave me behind

He saw a cliff, saw a view, for all I know he saw you

And he left me down here just singing the blues


**Repeat Chorus**


On our very first date he looked me deep in the eyes

And he got from me the things that I would normally hide

We fell in love in every possible way

And we didn't get to bed 'til the break of day

We talked of jazz, and love, and loving jazz

And we danced to Coltrane on a strange rooftop

But

On our second date he brought a friend to the show

'Cause I'd told him everything but this girl was unknown

How could I compete with your mystery?

Oh soon enough they left and forgot about me

They took the jazz, took the swing, took the be-bop too

And they left me down here just surrounded by blues


**Repeat Chorus**


I don't know who you are but I've a plea for you

Please don't take my boy away and leave me feelin' blue
