i surrender
lay down my weapons at your feet
you know it just so happens that defeat so sweet
is the very essence of the blues
i'm familiar
with a host of troubles on the dreary road
and i have walked through puddles underneath a weary load
think i understand the subtleties of blue
like a mercenary
i never had a cause
but what if i did
i could never profess it
for words my dove i'm rarely at a loss
but everyone hungers for some kind of message
blue wolf cry
and the villages are empty
now how did i become the sentry
like a guardian of youth
or some such fool
and the blues is a minotaur
and everyone's a victim
on the moonlight battlefield
there's a sliver of a spectrum
where blue light falls it's absorbed or reflected into hues
and there in lies the heart of the matter
the essence of the blues
ah what say you guitar
i said the blues is a minotaur
and everyone's a victim
on the moonlight battlefield
there's a sliver of a spectrum
where blue light falls it's absorbed or reflected into hues
where blue light falls it's absorbed or reflected into hues
and there in lies the heart of the matter
the very essence of the blues
