Love Starvation
02:45

|||
I woke up early with love starvation
Hugging my pillow all alone in a rickety bed
Baby, if it’s any consolation
The needle’s in the red
It only hit me when I went by a mirror
That’s when I saw what was written all over my face
I’m suffering love starvation
A very bad case
I’ll tell you something about love starvation
It’s like a prison in your mind you’re locked up in
Disappointment, desperation
Your two old friends
Make it stop, make it stop
If only I could turn back the clock
Make it so, make it so
‘Cause I tell you that I can’t exist in a world like this
Show me a love that comes in colors
Or even one I can dream in black and white
Any love is better than no love
So any love’s right
Make it stop, make it stop
If only I could turn back the clock now
Make it so, make it so
‘Cause I tell you that I can’t exist in a world like this
I woke up early with love starvation
Hugging my pillow all alone in a rickety bed
Baby, if it’s any consolation
The needle’s in the red
The needle’s in the red
Love starvation, baby
It’s got me on the back foot
It’s put me in a dark and lonely place
It’s got me never knowing
If I’m ever going to start living again
Love starvation, baby

Blue on Blue

Blue on blue
I’ve got a message in a song for you
You’re like a mill, you run me through
I call you blue on blue
Blue on blue
You’re only happy when you see me cry
I oughta leave, but how can I
Tied to blue on blue
Blue on blue
How has it come to this
Your kiss is my one true desire
I long each waking hour for you
Blue on blue
I’ve got a message in a song for you
I call you blue on blue
I can’t sleep
For all the promises you don’t keep
I wanna run but I’m in too deep
Too deep for blue on blue
In my mind
I’m on the end of a ball of twine
That she jerks from time to time
Time for blue on blue
Blue on blue
How has it come to this
Your kiss is my one true desire
I long each waking hour for you
Blue on blue
I’ve got a message in a song for you
You’re like a mill, you run me through
I call you blue on blue
I call you blue on blue
I call you blue on blue
I call you, call you blue on blue
Blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue
Oh blue, blue, blue

Trombone, come play your song
Make it the one about good love gone wrong
I’m so blue and all alone
So blow something sad and slow for me, trombone
I’ve been told time's a healer
Still I can’t shake the love I lost
Seems my destiny’s to count the cost
No one calls, who can blame ‘em
They’re all out of sympathy
Lord, how I could use some company
For me, oh yes, proceed
Trombone, come play your song
Make it the one about good love gone wrong
My one true love has flown
So blow something sad and slow for me, trombone
I should be on the road to glory
Not this barren, bleak terrain
I pray I’ll never be this way again
Spilling from an upper story
Comes a half-remembered melody
And I’m whistling the missing harmony
In B, or C, oh please
Trombone, come play your song
Make it the one about good love gone wrong
My one true love has flown
So blow something sad and slow for me
Trombone, play your song
Make it the one about good love gone wrong
I’m so, so blue and all alone
So oil up your slide trombone
My one true love has flown
I’m sitting here in limbo, dear
I want you near
Trombone
Trombone
Trombone

Raincoat in the River

I'm gonna throw my raincoat in the river
Gonna toss my umbrella in the sea
The sun's gonna shine like never before
It ain't gonna rain on me no more
‘Cause my baby's comin' back to me
Hey can't you see my raincoat in the river
Sinkin’ down, ever further out of sight
For each drop of rain that fell on my face
I know we'll share a sweet embrace
‘Cause she'll be back in my arms tonight
Well the rain kept drippin’, drip drop drippin'
All the while she went away
But all that’s stoppin’, no more drip drip droppin'
Now she’s home to stay, so that's why I say
Did you see my raincoat in the river
Sinkin’ down, ever further out of sight
That’s ‘cause she’ll be back in my arms tonight
Well the rain kept drippin’, drip drop drippin'
All the while she went away
But all that’s stoppin’, no more drip drip droppin'
Now she’s home to stay, so that's why I say
I'm gonna throw my raincoat in the river
Gonna toss my umbrella in the sea
The sun's gonna shine like never before
It ain't gonna rain on me no more
‘Cause my baby's comin' back to me
Woah, my baby's comin' back to me
No, no, no, no, no, no
My baby's comin' back to me
