Lyrics
VERSE/1
You were never so close before, I thought you were mine. I got up the nerve to ask you, and you couldn't lie. Something inside, was trying so hard to change your mind, Now you're far behind.
CHORUS
Northeast Railway, worn out shoes. Maybe I can kick these blues.
Left on Monday, I'll be there soon. I'm worn out in blue?won't you change my mind, this time. Worn out in blue?decide.
VERSE/2a
Some velvet morning (I could tell in an instant) I knew that I loved her (How I wish that I didn't) I'm running away; I'm waking today to find, that I'm feeling better (I think that I told you) I wrote you a letter (I just couldn't show you) I threw it away. It's better this way, you know.
VERSE/2b
It was never so clear before. It's clear as the sky. That moment when I once held you was gone with a sigh, and nothing I've tried erases the Church steps and my pride. Now you're far behind.
CHORUS
Northeast Railway, worn out shoes. Maybe I can kick these blues. Left on Monday; I'll be there soon; I'm worn out in blue.
I think God can hear me cry. Make her love me; make her mine. And if the answer's no I'm flying. I'm worn out in blue. Won't you change my mind, this time. Worn out in blue.
CHORUS
Northeast Railway, worn out shoes. Maybe I can kick these blues. I left on Monday, I'll be there soon; I'm worn out in blue?
I think God can hear me cry. Make her love me; please decide. And since the answer's no I'm dying. I'm worn out in blue. Won't you change my mind, this time. Worn out in blue, decide.
