Night of the Blues (Version 1)

Night of the Blues (Version 1) - Jackson C. Frank

I got to you

Over drinks and martinis

And slight overdue

We wait for our background

To sell us the news

How we got together

The night of the blues

Sitting in the bar

Initialing a star

Caught in the circle

Of going so far

Out street was a crier

And the lights blew a fuse

How we got together

The night of the blues

Now that I know you

And you know me too

Panic forgives me

For trying to choose

The piano was dancing the wind knew the tunes

How we got together

The night of the blues

I made a hat

Out of newspaper runes

You had a chat

With the men in the moons

We both had a chance

To exchange our views

How we got together

The night of the blues

How we got together

The night of the blues
