Pickin’ Up the Pieces (live in Chicago)

Well like the stars fell down upon us
In a dream of you and me
And then a storm came out of nowhere
Turned my peace to misery

'Cause I've been running now for days
Picking up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
That's just the price of love
I am oh so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
And I can't have you, you've gone away
You were the reason, you were the reason I stay

Come on lovely ladies, where you at in the house?
Where all my girls at? Come on y'all (Hey)
What up fellas? 'Cause you know that I've got something to say
Hey, listen
This fairy-tale that you painted for me
You only see what you want to see
But I'm inclined to tell you something
You never show me how you care for me

'Cause I've been running now for days
Picking up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
That's just the price of love
I am oh so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
And I can't have you, you've gone away
You were the reason, you were the reason I stay

I stay (Said, I stay)
I stay (The reason I stay)
I stay (Oh yeah)
The reason I stay

Give it up for the one, the only Mr
James King on flute and saxophone, everybody
