Brother Lou - Lyrics Page 3

One Blues

There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s when she’s walkin’
Through that door
There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s when she’s walkin’
Through that door
She’s been out all night
She said she wouldn’t
Do that no more

I been working two jobs
But it don’t pay
No matter how much I bring home
My baby won’t stay
There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s when she’s walkin’
Through that door
She comes to help me
Forget my woman
Like so many times before
You know I’m not the
Cheatin’ kind, but babe
You give me no choice

There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s when she’s
Walkin’ through that door
There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s when she’s
Walkin’ through that door
She’s been out walkin’ all night
Now she’s gunna tell me
I’m no good?

There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s this gun in my hand
There ain’t but one blues baby
It’s this gun in my hand
Someday I’ll ask the devil
Why she made a woman for a man

Trampled Heart

Anyone can play the fool
Only love could be this cruel
You made me think our love was true
Fool me one time shame on you
Heaven came and heaven went
Still I could have been content

As just another trampled heart
But the way you come back
To love me again
Just another trampled heart
Then you take it all back and say
Let’s just stay friends
Then you run back to him again

I dwell on the past to pass the time
Before you left me numb and blind
Now you say you’ve come to your senses
Like a siren song to my defenses
Fool me two times, shame on me
I should have cut loose
Turned and run free

As just another trampled heart
If I were able in someway
To summon my will
Just another trampled heart
Make me forget my pain
And make time stand still
While you’re setting me up
For the kill again

It could have been just,
If you would have been just……

Each time he sends you away
You tell me that
You’re back to stay

With this trampled heart
The way you get back
Inside my head
Just another trampled heart
The way you raise me
Up from the dead
Set me up
For the kill again
Just another trampled heart
The way that you say
You could love me again
Just another trampled heart
Then you take it all back and say
Let’s just stay friends
But, baby we were never friends
Just another trampled heart
You leave and then come back
And then walk out again
Just another trampled heart
You’re saying goodbye
As if this is the end
So, until we meet again
When, when?
When you’re just another
Trampled heart

Black and White Kisses

I followed that gold line
And I got out just in time
You chose to stay behind
But we both new
It was too late for you
And memories kept hounding me
Around sharp corners
Of labyrinth walls
Surrounded
Then swallowed me
The second I stood still
I remembered you told me
How things always suck
When you’re stuck
Taking orders from others
But man
You sure kept quiet
When it came to being alone

Is it too late for me?
Too late for me
For black and white kisses
Too late for me
To want something here
For more than just myself
To give it all up
For anyone else
For them laugh, smile or breath
Is it too late for me?
Is it too late?
Is it too late
For black and white kisses?

Back I went to see the grave
Of the resolutions
That passed me by
I’d run so far and for so long a time
But it was you that was finally free
You were in every frame
Of every film that I ever cut
In each blessed kiss
On that reel you left behind
In everything that I forgot
In these swelling eyes
You always said
I was too sentimental,
But what I really wonder
Is if there is anything
Left to recall

Is it too late for me?
Too late for me
For black and white kisses
Too late for me

To want something here
For more than just myself
To give it all up
For anyone else
For them sweat, cry or bleed,
Is it too late for me?
Is it too late?
Is it too late
For black and white kisses?
