As I stand by your flame I get burned once again Feeling low down and blue
As I sit by the fire of your warm desire I’ve got the blues for you, yeah
Every night you’ve been away I’ve sat down and I have prayed That you’re safe in the arms of a guy who will bring you alive Won’t drag you down with abuse, oh
In the silk sheet of time I will find peace of mind Love is a bed full of blues
And I’ve got the blues for you And I’ve got the blues for you And I’ll burst my brains out for you And I’ll tear my hair out I’m gonna tear my hair out just for you If you don’t believe what I’m saying At three o’clock in the morning, babe, well, I’m singing my song for you
