BLUE EASY

I been out all night, the pavement is wet
My good girl is calling for me I bet
She’s not in the window but she hasn’t left yet
In the blue easy light of morning

You watch all the pictures, you keep them around
You go through the motions, you make all the sounds
You wish there was some way to wash it all down
In the blue easy light of morning

My knees are so stiff, my jaw is so tight
My nerves are like spiders been dancing all night
My one millionth try at getting things right
In the blue easy light of morning

Count all the ways I’m wrong on one hand
Walk out the ways I been half a man
Run them all down and make a new plan
In the blue easy light of morning

Here I am knocking, my head is bent down
She opens the door, I’m looking around
For ways to say sorry for being a clown
In the blue easy light of morning

She’ll take me back in and nurse me to life
She’ll give me a pillow in place of a vice
She’ll give me a pardon, not just because she’s nice
In the blue easy light of morning

Wrapped up, her arms a storm cloud, I’m drifting
She’s done all her yelling, I’m finally listening
She hasn’t left yet, it was only a warning
In the blue easy light of morning
