SAME BLUES - Fences

You’re a mother of two

And I tried to be a good father too

I lose my mind when I’m talking to you

And I don’t know why that’s a lie

Yes, I do

Guess that I don’t know you

But that’s fine cause I think that strangers are cool

In time you’ll find that I’m bad for you

In time you’ll find it’s true

So were you

Cause you are the ashes

The cigarette smoke in my eyes

And out on my leg

It’s a burn I’ll have for life

It’s a burn that I like

Life is harder in tune

When you find common lines that run through the noose

I’d use your hands if the rope was too loose

And die with a smile on cold tile

Next to you

We both sing the same blues

Different houses and spouses, but similar views

I’d learn to dance if you’d stand on my shoes

I can’t, you’re a wife cause you smiled

Said «I do»

Cause you are the ashes

The cigarette smoke in my eyes

And out on my leg

It’s a burn I’ll have for life

Cause you are the ashes

The cigarette smoke in my eyes

And out on my leg

It’s a burn I’ll have for life

It’s a burn that I like
