lyrics

Instead of a gun

I watch these tired eyes
staring at me from my mirror
All that they cannot hide
but my pride’s put a lid on
Allows me only blues
now and then
to get around the nearest bend
The road is full of them
instead of a gun
Blues will sink my sun…

Play a sad song doctor John
Cause my Muse is almost gone
and there’s only musac around

To talk of this broken heart
Once healed by this lady
She now makes it fall apart
painting our picture shady
I’ll try to sing her off
sing her off my mind
Would you just play me some wine…
It makes my inside shine
Instead of a gun
Play a rising sun

Play a sad song doctor John
Play the trees and play the sun
let it roll me along
Play a sad song doctor John !

Playing on routing and making albums to perfection, where poetry smooth in with overrehearsed cords, is not only a vast of money, but also a vaste of mind. ... more
