my first talking blues!  http://wildtruth.net

Lyin here in bed at ten
A hellish night of sleep it’s been
My dreams were open, they ripped me wide
And threw me down the mountainside

But I force myself up and I write em all down
And I eat some breakfast and I futz around
Then I crawl back here for a morning snooze
and find myself just pickin the blues

It’s strange to live in this modern game
Where Thursdays and Saturdays are kinda the same
And Sundays and Mondays and Fridays too
And I just keep on pushin through
  I heal my wounds, I pay the toll, I speak the truth

Well I rise and fall, and again I rise
I look in the mirror, and I look in my eyes
Just what’s it like to be old me
In the middle of this swirling sea?
