Night of the Blues

If it was hope

If it was rope

It was an alcove

Built on a slope

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 at the bar

Initialling a star

Caught in the circle

Of going so far

Out the street was a cryer

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 winds knew the tune

How we got together

The night of the blues

I made a hat

Out of newspaper runes

And you had a chat

With the man in the moon

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
