paroles de chanson Rex's Blues - Townes Van Zandt

Ride the blue wind high and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low
Come time to go
Alone and low as low can be

If I had a nickel
I'd find a game
If I won a dollar
I'd make it rain
If it rained an ocean
I'd drink it dry
And lay me down dissatisfied

It's legs to walk
And thoughts to fly
Eyes to laugh
And lips to cry
A restless tongue to classify
All born to grow
And grown to die

So tell my baby
I said so long
Tell my mother
I did no wrong
Tell my brother to watch his own
And tell my friends
To mourn me none

I'm chained upon the face of time
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
There ain't no dark
Till something shines
I'm bound to leave this dark behind

Ride the blue wind
High and free
She'll lead you down through misery
Leave you low
Come time to go
Alone and low as low can be
