Lyrics
How much good is there in goodbye
How much hurt can you insert in a lie
Just how bad is real bad news
Just how blue are the blues
Just how black is the dark night of the soul
Just how bleak is the church bell’s toll
Just a drop of blood in between the pews
Just how blue are the blues
Rainy day, slip slidin’ away
With your grip at yer hip on saint valentine’s day
Oh, candlestick gray, vertigo bay
Tip your bailey to the bridge and be on your way on to ...
Something borrowed, something old, something blue
How many stories in the naked city street
Just how bitter is bittersweet
Just another tramp for the cops to accuse
Just how blue are the blues
How many words must a poet erase
How many shades have you drawn in this place
Is that just a break, or is that a bruise
Just how blues are the blues
A melody for the lonely avenues
Just as blue as the blues
