Blue River
I set to thinking
What it was
That made me do
The things I do
I lit a candle
Just for you
It burnt real bright
Then it burnt quite low
But though hard I tried
It would not die
So I'll go sit by the Blue River
Where lonely lovers go.

Elvis' "Blue River"
I couldn't honestly say that I am an Elvis Presley fan, but I found the lyrics of his "Blue
River" on the Web
and it sort of captured what I am feeling at the moment - with
a little alteration, it could be my story :-(
(found the lyrics on d 13th and
wrote the piece above on the 14th)
Blue river, it can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears, blue river
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from lovin' someone in vain
Like I loved you, and baby I still do
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feelin' so low
But I gotta go
Blue river because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Cryin' over you, by the river of blue
Since its "Feeling Blue" season, here is another song that makes me wanna ...
("Blue Moon")
The first time I heard it must have been in the early 80s - in the film "An
American Werewolf in London"
Blue Moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon You know just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold Blue Moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own |
