Thea Gilmore - Heart String Blues lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Heart String Blues lyrics]
Fire in a dark alleyway it is sitting on the
Shoulder of every yesterday
It is shining a light in your eyes
It is checking every one of your new alibis
It is rising like the evening
Tide around an old shipwreck
It is tightening that pretty little
Noose around your neck
Oh and any second now it will choose
Yeah any second now all hell will break loose
So keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe
Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe
All of the thousands of you come
Down with the heart string blues
It is preaching all the virtues
Of love and providence
It would sell your soul for a sad
Song but it won’t pay your rent
It is raising those old rebel flags
It is picking though your long
Buried ashes and rags
So keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe
Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe
All of the thousands of you come
Down with the heart string blues
It is singing it's songs for
The injured and dispossessed
It is pointing that twelve gauge of
Truth straight at your chest
Though it’s been broken more
Times than you know
It’s blue and it’s bleeding
It’s got a mind of it's own
So keep it safe keep it safe keep it safe
Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe
All of the thousands of you come
Down with the heart string blues
All of the thousands of you come
Down with the heart string blues
