(G. Liszt)
Its too late for me kids
Save yourselves
I sowed it Ill reap it
Save yourselves
Ive had a good run
But Im battered and bummed
Im not trying to hide it
I fell where I strided
Wont someone pick me up
And carry me to home?
And if I do die lonesome
Bury me alone
Its oh so sad though
Painfully true
I know, I know why
You came to be blue
Im drunk again
And not from love, liquor
But Ive seen drunker men
Hey, lots are love-sicker
Im numb and I get number now
Thats all that a drink brings
But Id rather be blank
Im dark when I think things
Wont someone pick me up
And carry me to home?
If I do die lonesome
Bury me alone
Its oh so sad though painfully true
I know, I know why
You came to be blue
Would somebody please pick me up
And carry me to home?
And if I do die lonesome
Bury me alone
Its oh so sad though painfully true
I know, I know why
Oh pick me up
And carry me to home
And if I do die
Bury me alone
Ill sow no bad
Its pain for me too
I know that Im why
You came to be blue
