lyrics

Clear Blue Tears
by Ted Lehman (ASCAP) © Copyright 2015 APR Music Publishing LLC

Verse: [Am-x2-Dm-Am] Chorus [Em-Dm-Am-(Em-Am)] Bridge [F-Am-F-G-Am] x2

Verse

The sun rises
It's not so bright
The sky's still blue
Clouds still white

I can't see the stars
When I look up at night
things went wrong
When they could have gone right

Chorus

I cry for tomorrow
I cry for yesterday
I cry clear blue tears
Every day

Verse

Been lost in a haze
For too many years
Avoiding the hurt
Running from fears

My life was on hold
While I'm getting old
Once you were gone
With a piece of my soul

Bridge

I keep tellin myself
I gotta get movin on
Gotta get back to the world of the living
What's done is done
I can't go back
I have nothing left to be giving

The MP3 Blues Allstars LA sessions in April 2015 were fantastic. Look for more new Blues recordings soon... ... more
