lyrics

She came to me in paisley and lace and the candles lit the room.
The light that flickered on her face made her skin white as the moon.
Mandolins played, fiddles wailed. I should have seen the signs.
But I forgot my past and my heart sailed. I must have lost my mind.

Nothing else can hold me but the highway and the sky
and they occasional good time
and the sad eyed morning smile of a woman in blue
and the things I see in you.

The night time came and left me.
The morning rose with a scowl.
But the birds are nestled all snug in their trees
and the dogs are gonna howl.

Those are found who once were lost,
but nothing stays the same.
Except the paisley and the lace
that draped her when she came to me.

And everything is beautiful. Or so I have been told
for all the beautiful people. But it can all be sold
for a woman in blue
and the things I see in you.

When I lie awake at night, horny and strung out
and my bones they ache for a fight
and my soul just wants to shout
I drift off to the night

She came to me in paisley and lace
and the candles burned and flickered on her face
my woman in blue
who reminded me of you.

Soulful acoustic music with heartfelt lyrics about love, loss, sweetness and sorrow. ... more
