Foggy Blues

I went walkin' walkin' walkin'
into the dreadnaught night
I went walkin' walkin'
And something wasn't right
Caught the bank's time & temp,
Copped a cuppa joe & left a quarter tip
Never knew love could come on like this
Got the blues, oh foggy blues

I went walkin' walkin' walkin'
Walking on for my dreams
I went walkin' walkin'
Love is more than it seems
Street lamps holdin' up lazy clouds
Looking for no complications
Lookin' for the right love right now
Got the blues, oh foggy blues

I went walkin' walkin' walkin'
It's the Lord of Love who speaks
I went walkin' walkin'
And I'm watching out for your heart
I love your opal eyes
This is your Lord who speaks
I love your denial
This is the Lord of Loss who speaks
Got the blues, oh foggy blues

I went walkin' walkin' walkin'
Into the slaughterhouse dark
I went walkin' walkin'
Hope as my Covenant Ark
Mistress Death my tempt me
Time may lead me on
Her eyes shine like eternity
She's my latest song
I got the blues, oh foggy blues

I went walkin' walkin' walkin'
Walking into my madness
I went walkin' walkin'
Where time brings no sadness
Here's my right hand, full of desire
Here's my left eye,
Burning like a heart of fire
Got the blues, oh foggy blues.
