you were standing in a shadow of blue
a chord in one hand my heart to undo
you were a cipher, a mistress code
a wind-talker in melody clothed
& we sang all night
& whispered the day
you were standing but i heard you croon
a siren sang your secret tune
it was a tryst it was a whirlwind
but all good things must find their end
your études your ivory keys
i play my six-string down on my knees
i play the blues
you play for you
it was a tryst it was too facile
i was all swear about blue gun steel
i was all swear about your demise
shed not a tear for all your lies
they put me in chains and on the stand
i told the tale 'bout your demands
what you took from me
my ransomed heart
i was all swear about your timely end
but never said a word about our bed
