Street Light Blues JP 550

[Verse] The street lights flicker A moth does its dance The summer breeze offers the softest romance I sit with my coffee A chipped china cup Lost in the stories that never add up [Verse 2] Old Mr. Harper’s dog howls at the moon He’s lookin’ for trouble Or just barking a Tune The train in the distance hums low in its might Just some rusty old wheels singin’ to the night [Chorus] Oh Life’s just a tune not sung in a key You chase what you’ve lost and don’t know you’re free The stars overhead They tell me their news I’m hummin’ my heart to these street light blues [Verse 3] Sally Mae’s fig tree’s half dead in the yard She’s got dreams in a book Tucked brittle and hard The road out of here seems paved with desire But it falls back apart for want of a tire [Verse 4] The screen door slams where it’s split at the edge The world’s lookin’ smaller past this garden hedge Sometimes I swear When the wind’s just so thin You hear all the places we’ve never been [Chorus] Oh Life’s just a tune not sung in a key You chase what you’ve lost and don’t know you’re free The stars overhead They tell me their news I’m hummin’ my heart to these street light blues
