Acquainted Blues


If I knew how to love you woman

You know I’d tell you the truth

But the trouble that is rocking me

Is the old time news

I want to be alone

While you hold me close to see

How another day breaks

Till I face your memory

 

I am evil, I am good

According to the angle

From where you take your look

I’m weary, I’m beat

Won’t take another morning

With the tide in deceit

 

I’m woeful, I’m sorry

For I only seem to take

All the little things that matter

‘Till I’m gone while you’re awake

I’m troubled, I’m sad

And I don’t know what I do

Put down your guns

And you might see my blues

 

I seek to understand

Do I really love ya?

Or am I in a reminiscent mood

Is it you that I want

Or the acquainted blues

 

I’m lonely, I’m scared

And I am lost just like you

But while you think that I hate

You oversee the blues

 

The love that I bear

A chain of mistakes

Is too heavy to lift

And too old to shake

 

I seek to understand

Do I really love ya?

Or am I in a reminiscent mood

Is it you that I want

Or the acquainted blues
