Steve Earle - After Mardi Gras lyrics

See that shadow on the wall Doesn’t look like me at all Head hung down Intentions meltin’ on the ground Saddest shape I ever saw There’s so much I need to do Before I get over you But I can’t bother with it all Until after Mardi Gras All that music in the air Happy people everywhere Make it hard to sing the blues Until Mardi Gras is through Put my loneliness away Save it for a rainy day Delay the pain sponsored links Nothin’ ventured nothin’ gained The time’ll come but that’s okay Right now I ain't got the time To sit at home and cry When outside it's Carnival Maybe after Mardi Gras I can learn to take it well Psychoan*lyze myself But for now I'm havin' fun Until Mardi Gras is done There’s so much I need to do Before I get over you I can’t bother with it all Maybe after Mardi Gras Right now I ain't got the time To sit at home and cry When outside it's Carnival Maybe after Mardi Gras
