And We Should Die Of That Roar - Too Much Blues Can Break You Down

Too Much Blues Can Break You Down

Down, down, down, down, down
Down, in the dark at the heartache square
I met a shadow of a shadow of a brother
Down, in the dark at the heartache square
He said: “I’ve found the light in the good Lord’s prayer!”
Down, in the dark at the heartache square
And good lord would surely save his soul
But it was showing clear signs of wear

He took a leap and he fell
Under the sense woven spell
Of righteous and the kind
But down at the heartache hotel
We all go to hell
To get some peace of mind
And everybody wants to know the way
The old story goes
The father and the son
A bullet and the gun
And the Holy Ghost

Down, down, down, down, down
Down, in the dark of the heartache town
Dear shadow of a shadow of a brother
You tell yer Lord I’m gonna be just fine
And keep your head up, brother!
See too much blues can break you down!”
And hold on tight to your heart of soul, ‘coz…
… some things when lost can never be found!”

He took a leap and he fell
Under the sense woven spell
Of righteous and the kind
But down at the heartache hotel
We all go to hell
To get some peace of mind
And everybody wants to know the way
The old story goes
Dark cloud and the sun
Sweet child on the run
Washed up on far-away coast

Down, down, down, down, down
Down, on the bottom of the heartache pond
My shadow of a shadow of a brother
He’s long gone, nowhere to be found
Oh, are you happy now, dear brother
Or are you sad and all alone?
Where do you put your head to rest at night!
And do you sleep with your shoes still on!

He took a leap and he fell
Under the sense woven spell
Of righteous and the kind
But down at the heartache hotel
We all go to hell
To get some peace of mind
And everybody wants to know the way
The old story goes
When the day is done
We all need a place
To lay down our bones
