There was a time when most of my songs were sad ones. Then I met Wendy. This is the first song I wrote for her. List this under 'true stories'.

 

I sing the blues when I get lonely

And my face just wears a frown

I sing because I've lost my one and only

I’m all alone and feeling down

I’m a crying clown with a weeping guitar

When I’ve lost my cat or I’ve crashed my car

I just sit down and sing those lowdown blues

      So I never sing a song about you

 

I sing for people who desert me

And leave me feeling sad

I sing for lovers who have hurt me

And those who drove me mad

When they walked out and I wish they’d stay

When I just wish they’d go away

I sing when someone’s torn my heart in two

So l never sing a song about you

 

All the songs I sing are really dark and doomy

         The chords I know all have a dying fall

But thanks to all the love you’ve given to me

I’ve nothing left to sing about at all

   

I sing about people who desert me

And make me feel so bad

I sing ‘bout lovers who have hurt me

And left me feeling sad

If they walked out when I wished they’d stay

When I hoped they’d just go away

I sing when someone’s torn my heart in two

So l never sing a song about you.
