lyrics

2 – 501 (DON´T LEAVE ME NOW)

I´ve been around a couple of corners
Between a pressing iron an´ a 501
A little one forth, two back, sidestep, hit, straightforward
Known the wishes an´ the will an´ the hopes that hide an´ run

Seen my soul in the face in the mirror hangin´ face to the wall
An´ turnin´ round I saw two shadows run
Seen the black spot on my honesty´s x-ray sprawl
Like the sweat between the saddle an´ a fat man´s 501

Gee, my blues are always dark
An´ my dark is always blue
But sometimes there´s been a spark
An´ the spark was always you
I mean dark ain´t always dark
But the light is always you

Don´t leave me now
Don´t leave me now
Don´t leave me now
Don´t leave

I woke up on a couple of benches
Little hearts carved in each an´ every one
They were blonde, black, white, red, Spaniards, Krauts an´ Frenchies
An´ they all smiled that smile, when they dropped their 501

I dived the deep seas in the eyes of drownin´ lovers
Felt the haze of kisses weigh a ton
I broke the bread, broke the promise, ran for cover
Like the dime in the pocket of a hobo´s 501

Gee, my blues are always dark …
