2011

There's nothing you can teach me


There can be, no consolation

In this moment all sadness is distilled

All my ruin is made plain,

My humiliation she wears no frills

And still you try to drink my tears,

But your kindness ,she just won’t reach

And I love your stories where you learn to lose

But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues

There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
 

Oh we have been through vales of glory

We have pictures to help us reminisce

And we are tarnished by life’s advances

Oh and our beauty is in our every kiss

Oh but this, well you’d have to live my life

To see with this heart of mine

And you can try all you like to show it hurts you too

But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues

There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues


Well I need my times and spaces

Cos this blues is whispering my name

And I love you truly cos you do what you do

And you stand by me night and day

And hey, still you try to drink my tears,

But your kindness, she just won’t reach

And whatever I ask I know you won’t refuse

And I love your stories where you learn to lose

And I love you truly cos you do what you do

But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues

There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues

Well here’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
