BLUE SONGS ON A RED GUITAR
Julie Matthews, from the album 'Such is Life'

Me and my shadow we're never apart.
We know the blues by heart.
We sing them in the morning with the sun on the rise,
Sing them at night to star-studded skies;
And I'm not crazy, though it looks that way.
It's just that me and my shadow like to play—

CHORUS: Blue songs on a red guitar.
Me and my shadow do a fine routine;
And it's taking the aching right out of my heart,
Playing blues on a red guitar.

Well, I talk to the walls, but the walls never hear.
My pillow won't dry up none of my tears;
But when the night comes down and my shadow comes out ,
She knows what all of this heartache's about;
And I'm not afraid of the darkness, you see.
It's only my shadow that's following me,
Singing—CHORUS

And I will not be denied my sorrow.
I've earned the right to feel this way.
Maybe I will change my tune tomorrow,
But just tonight I think I'll play—CHORUS
