Lyrics Oxford Blues - Rahsaan Patterson

Oxford Blues

You’re all alone now
Thinking what did you do?
Hearing your song of loneliness
Thinking why didn’t you?
Take better care of her and make it better off
Instead, you let her run
And now you lay at night with tears in your eyes
Pretending behind the smile that you used to hide
Oxford blues
Days are long with her loving gone
And now you’re behind behind the smile that you used to hide
Oxford blues
You’re all alone now
Thinking what did you do?
Missed opportunities and regrets
Pulling at you (And it’s got you thinking why)
Why didn’t you (You should’ve taken better care of her)
Take better care of her (Could've made it better off)
And make it better off (Instead, you let her run)
Instead, you let her run
And now you lay at night with tears in your eyes
Pretending behind the smile that you used to hide (Uh)
Oxford blues
Days are long with her loving gone (Her loving gone)
And now you’re behind behind the smile that you used to hide
Oxford blues
And now you lay at night with tears in your eyes
Pretending behind the smile that you used to hide
Oxford blues
Days are long with her loving gone
And now you’re behind behind the smile that you used to hide
And now you lay at night with tears in your eyes
(Lay at, tears, crying)
Pretending behind the smile that you used to hide
(Behind the smile you used to hide)
Oxford blues
Days are long with her loving gone
And now you’re behind behind the smile that you used to hide
Oxford blues
Mmm, Oxford blues, yeah, yes
Oxford blues
Mmm, Oxford blues
