Down With The Blues

[suuzzee5]

EDIT (may not be final)

I hold no candle to the moon

So eloquent with light

I love the moon too fondly

To ever fear the night

[suuzzee5]

The moon's a good companion Always lends a little light Believes that I'm a firefly In the cold harsh dead of night Though I take it for granted, Its grasp would be the same If I were but a lowly moth And it was but a flame I hold no candle to the moon So eloquent with light I love the moonbeams far too much To be fearful of the night

[suuzzee5]

And Lee... you are one fine, fine bluesman...

[suuzzee5]

Back for another listen....mellow man... this is a 3:00 AM song if ever I heard one...

[wesalittle]

Suze, you're so cool! Everyone should have a friend as wonderful as you. Coincidentally, most of the things I write come around at 3-ish. The moon's a good companion- no harsh words and always lending a little light, lol. Check out my new bud Davie's cover of this one, if ya haven't yet. daviemcf (see below)

Luv yuhs,

Lee

[suuzzee5]

You're the bestest!! :) I did hear Davie's cover and it's awesome of course ... everything he produces is wonderful. But it's a brilliant song to start out with. You always manage to inspire me, it's something about the way you word things. :)

The moon's a good companion

Always lends a little light

Believes that I'm a firefly

In the cold harsh dead of night

[wesalittle]

Uh-oh...

[suuzzee5]

verse two

up to you

:)

[wesalittle]

The moon's a good companion

Always lends a little light

Believes that I'm a firefly

In the cold harsh dead of night

Though I take it for granted,

It's grasp would be the same

If I were but a lowly moth

And it was but a flame

[coolanddark]

Great original song! The blues rule! Love the sad tunes! AWESOME!!

[wesalittle]

Thanks, Dan! I've really dig blues, have since I first heard an old, OLD Coco Taylor tape. Glad you like it man, I do too. Used to do it when I played out, with a smokin' lead. Don't see much dancin' to the blues, but some young gals would do that slow dirty dance thang to it. Quite odd, but flattering! lol Jam on, buddy!

Lee

Great song! Is it original? Love the line, "Can't swallow your pride, make it easy and wash it down with the blues."
