Blues Stay Away
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Oh blues, why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me
Oh true love was never meant for me
Seem somehow
We never can agree
Life is full of misery
Oh dreams are like memories
Bringing back
The love that it used to be
Tears, so many i can't see
Oh yes, don't mean a thing to me
Oh, don't go by
Still i can be free
