Lyrics

VERSE 1
Blue gloomy moon, black heavy skies
love doesn't live here no more
Cupid took a night bus to New York
took a chance, hoping to win
Same same old tune, tell ya I tried
to make love stay inside my door
it won't, it doggedly passes by
it doesn't seem to be my kin

CHORUS
She slipped away
like flare in the night
she slipped away
shut out my old light
she slipped away
I'm empty inside
she slipped away
I got nowhere to hide

VERSE 2
Big mystery, been payin' my dues
stupid me joined the club
walkin' clueless to slaughter
gotta move on, not resign
Deep injury, rainy day blues.
will the old levee hold up?
not collapse for the water
guess we weren't one of a kind

CHORUS
