As Lucerne / The Low |
| There is no blues that can sound quite as heartfelt as mine |
| Lamented at the gorge of the river, I watched it weep its banks dry |
| I hum the sorriest tune on the bar at these dives |
| Send all the patrons running home to make up with their first wives |
| My prose as purple but not as pretty as lucerne |
| For sweet nothings from the lips of a gargoyle, nobody ever yearned |
| Perpetually a philistine, but darling I am longing to learn |
| Been looked at like the rotten grape on the vine, while you and yours are |
| drinking Sauternes. |
| (But the low) is, what I came for |
| (And to bask) in a darkness I do adore |
| I am the magpie’s solo, the sorrow that makes you salute |
| Pounding the earth for the early worm, I’m a glutton but it’s good for my glutes |
| I was solace to the sirens, the bait on the fisherman’s rod |
| the hook took me far from my family, but closer to God |
