Laura Nyro
"I Am the Blues"

Cigarettes

I'm all alone with my smoke and ashes

Cigarettes

I'm all alone with my smoke and ashes

Take me night-flying

Maybe Mars has good news

Who?...who am I?

I am the blues

Soothe me

Horn's warm red love-makin'

Funky music

Move me

Night wind, red tail lights, and

Funky music

'cause I'm restless

In my love for sale shoes

Who?...who am I?

I am the blues

In a world of war

I can't find my laughter

I can't see the night sun

And I can't see my freedom

I guess I can't see too much no more

Baby, till I lose my blues

Fly through the sky like superfly

Over the stars we climb

Over this sweet red wine

I tell myself

Right on

Right on

Right on

Right on

Blues

Flying so high

A plane in the sky

Listen to the music of the night wind
