Alone Again Blues

She slipped out of the door in her traveling shoes

Got a man on her mind, not a minute to lose

She's so well intentioned, but hardly a clue

And she just can't shake these alone again blues

Just the night before last she awoke with a start

After falling asleep by the fire in the dark

She felt something was wrong

Something strange and bizarre

And she needed to stop it from tearing apart

When they met it was brief, he was cool and so loose

She walkingon air in some other girl's shoes

In a moment of weakness, he'd tried and she knew

There'd be nothing to show but alone again blues

And she sings,

"Red sky evening, now he's leaving

Grey sky morning, now he's gone"

WeIl she let him walk out without even a fight

By convincing herself they were too much alike

When he cursed her and left her, it seemed only right

They'd just bitten off more than they'd planned in one night

WeIl she broke down and cried, but it wasn't no good

For the thought of him leaving just darkened her mood

Till the rage she was feeling polluted her blood

And she could not believe how he'd misunderstood

She raved and she ranted, it wasn't her fault

And she could not abide a man not worth his salt

It was something much deeper than pride could undo

It was poetic justice, alone again blues

And she sings,

"Red sky evening, now he's leaving

Grey sky morning, now he's gone"

So she drove through the city all over the place

She was feeling rejected, feeling disgraced

She finally gave up, parked outside of his place

With this mask of bewilderment covering her face

She's the kind of a girl he won't ever forget

A little mistake that he couldn't correct

It's "finders are keepers," it's "merci beaucoup"

When you just can't shake those alone again blues

And she sings,

"Red sky evening, now he's leaving

Grey sky morning, now he's gone"
