See that shadow on the wall
|
Doesn¡¯t look like me at all
|
Head hung down
|
Intentions meltin¡¯ on the ground
|
Saddest shape I ever saw
|
|
There¡¯s so much I need to do
|
Before I get over you
|
But I can¡¯t bother with it all
|
Until after Mardi Gras
|
All that music in the air
|
Happy people everywhere
|
Make it hard to sing the blues
|
Until Mardi Gras is through
|
|
Put my loneliness away
|
Save it for a rainy day
|
Delay the pain
|
Nothin¡¯ ventured nothin¡¯ gained
|
The time¡¯ll come but that¡¯s okay
|
