showman's blues

from songs for lauren by the salt wells

lyrics

how do you do what i cannot do
how come i falter when i try to
it's been a long, long time . life kickin' me around
even the angels bring me the blues

when wanted me to show her i love her
but she didn't see how scared i was
if it's sunny, we'll picnic; if it's not, then we'll die
even the angels bring me the blues

i lost a pillow in poplar bluff
for seven weeks couldn't even sleep
if the angels took my scarf, then i wasn't through
even the angels bring me the blues

i'm slipping over now on my way
i'm skipping over to better days
i thought you had an office, now, i guess we're through
even the angels bring me the blues
