Blues for D (Vocal Version)

[Verse 1]

In the coldest time of year

The strangest gift has found me here

Where boardinghouses used to be

Now these torn shades are all I see

[Verse 2]

From a window up above

I hear old voices begin cascading

Then stop awhile and then

The medicine is already fading

If not for you, I'd rather go

To the harbor down below

To all my friends I'll always miss

Don't have time for one more kiss

[Verse 3]

All along the road

The trees and the wind seem to be weaving

And off the avenue

The morning is already leaving

It's time I quit and did the same

Gone from the terrace down to St. James

To take a look at what I've known

But did not know how to tell you so

To all my friends I'll always miss

Don't have time for one more kiss
