PUT AWAY THE BLUES

In the aftermath
Of a sonic boom
I hear Etta James
In the other room
You know all the words
Maybe a little too well
We used to walk in the clouds
I guess I stumbled and fell

CHORUS
I’m man enough to be weak
Weak enough to be wrong
Strong enough to say I’m sorry
To make you sing a sad song
But I’m changing the words
Yeah I’m changing my tune
Our love is a symphony baby
Let’s put away all the blues

They call it stormy Monday
Is coming down the hall
Still the phonograph plays
And the teardrops fall
Let’s make the clouds roll by
I’ve got to stir up some wind
Well I’m gonna crawl
I’ve got to make some amends

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Let’s put the troubled times
On a leavin’ train
And send them down the line
In someone else’s name
A roomful of blues
Is just taking up space
Baby let’s clean house
And put love in place

CHORUS
