It never threw me like this
ignored
A head buried in the sand
to retort.
If it ever came down
To be a man
Or break my fall
Peel back the skin again
So I know.
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.
A head case
I can't refrain
All of my flaws
Rebound
Or rationalize
Just to stall
Well, I'm well aware
And I think you care
From your easy chair
Remission is all
that I can't afford.
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.Late at night
When it's dark and cold
I reach out
For someone to hold
When I'm blue
When I'm lonely
She comes through
She's the only one who can
My baby grand
Is all I need
In my time
I've wandered everywhere
Around this world
She would always be there
Any day
Any hour
All it takes
Is the power in my hands
This baby grand's
Been good to me
I've had friends
But they have slipped away
I've had fame
But it doesn't stay
I've made fortunes
Spent them fast enough
As for woman
They don't last with just one man
But baby grand
Will stand by me
They say that no one's gonna play this on the radio
They said the melancholy blues were dead and gone
But only songs like these
Played in minor keys
Keep those memories holding on
I've come far
From the life I've strayed in
I've got scars
From those dives I've played in
Now I'm home
And I'm weary
In my bones
Every dreary one night stand
But baby grand
Came home with me
Ever since this gig began
My baby grand's
Been good to me
