If it was hope If it was rope It was an alcove Built on a slope I got to you Over drinks and Martinis And slight overdue We wait for our background to sell us the news How we got together The night of the blues
Sitting at the bar Initialling a star Caught in the circle Of going so far Out the street was a cryer The lights blew a fuse How we got together The night of the blues
Now that I know you And you know me too Panic forgives me For trying to choose The piano was dancing The winds knew the tune How we got together The night of the blues
I made a hat Out of newspaper runes And you had a chat With the man in the moon We both had a chance To exchange our views How we got together The night of the blues How we got together The night of the blues
