Story Behind The Song

This song was written many years ago and forgotten. Dave Jenneson, the lyricist, and I decided to rewrite it. We had forgotten the verse and lyrics - only the chorus and title remained. It turned out to be the last song I wrote with Dave as he died soon after. Eerily he predicts his own funeral in the last verse.

Song Description

Someone you love very much now refuses to see you.

Lyrics

BLUE TELEGRAM

Last night I gave you a letter
Today the letter's burned
I swear I've never tried so hard
For so little in return
I don't want our love to end
But all you ever send
Is a blue blue telegram
I thought you were my friend

Blue telegram
I thought you were
I thought you were my friend
Blue telegram
I thought you were
I thought you were my friend

No answer when I call you
So I took walk downtown
If I can't see you one more time
I'll jump in the river and drown
So I'm callling you again
Why does it always end
In a blue blue telegram
I thought you were my friend

Blue telegram
I thought you were
I thought you were my friend
You're always sending my these blue telegrams
I thought you were
I thought you were my friend

They dressed me up in a brand new suit
And they laid my body down
I looked so fine on my funeral day
And still you won't come around
Now it's too late to pretend
Here it comes again
It's your blue blue telegram
I thought you were my friend

You're always sending me these blue telegrams
I thought you were my friend
You're always sending me these blue telegrams
I thought you were my friend
