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
|
|
