    Running with the Blues

    I told you something,
    Something, that wasn't right
    When I told you, I remember,
    Goodbye, on that night.
    I think I said that,
    We weren't right for each other.
    And you probably thought that,
    There must be some other.
    The truth is I was just running,
    Running with the Blues

    Every night I wondered
    What may have become,
    If I hadn't taken,
    The road that I've been on.
    But the many things I've seen,
    And the Lord knows what I've done,
    In this life I've lived,
    Wearing these traveling shoes.
    But the truth is, I was just running,
    Running with the Blues

    I think I read this right, but the ending threw me off... I'm probably wrong, but this feels like a nice blues song until the end of the second verse dropped out of measure with the last six lines out of the rhyming sequence... Maybe this was intentional; a bridge of sort to a different ending.. Not sure... It's a good story though and could easily be tweaked into a melody, if desired...

    Yeah, its a baby in the making, you might say.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
