Don't Look Now But I've Got The Blues

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

My pockets are empty, i feel so low

If somebody loves me, ain't said so

And i got holes in both of my shoes

Don't look now but i've got the blues

There ain't nobody on this old earth

Who'll give a nickel for what i'm worth

I got more worries that i can use

Don't look now but i've got the blues

Troubles everywhere, i act like i don't care

But it's not true

'cos i remember things, so many many things

But mostly, i remember you

I'm gonna go some place else

And cry these tears all by myself

I ain't got nothing left to lose

Don't look now but i've got the blues
