Blues Never Fade Away

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
He wasn't famous but I sure did love himI've got his picture in a little frameHe lost his life to a big disease before it even had a nameBut there's so many more and I've lost countThe hows and whys aren't important nowAll that matters is they came aroundAnd brightened up our livesShe was twenty one with her life aheadYou don't need to know her nameShe breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcadeBut fate's right hand isn't always justPuts a lot of pressure on your faith and trustShe was just a little girl ain't that enoughTo rage against the daychorus:And how did we get so lucky?Targets on the rifle rangeWho makes the call and who gets to choose?Who gets to win and who gets to lose?It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the bluesAnd blues never fade awayHey hey the colors run when the rain fallsBut blues never fade awayHe shone so bright with a lust for lifeLike the Sun King that he wasHis passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto clothAnd for reasons I never understoodAbout the choices made between the bad and goodI've tried to figure out butThe pain never goes away[repeat chorus]And there's marble markers and little white crossesAlong the beaten pathAnd I've spread their ashes on the windAnd I miss John Lennon's laugh[repeat chorus]
