Broken-Hearted Blues Lyrics
This is a song that I wrote when I was young
And I call it the broken hearted blues.
The air on that night was tempered like a knife
And the people wore the face masks of a clown.
Dawn, he was long, miss-shapen and forlorn
And his woman ran away without a smile.
Days of the earth are on unbroken changeless turf,
But the faces of the men are something else.
Jason Wind, as a boy, was a spacious sexual toy
But my baby, now he's a toothless baggy man.
When the hills of the sun make you feel that you are young,
Get good now and face your face into the wind.
This is a song that I wrote when I was young
And I called it the broken hearted blues.
This is a song he wrote when he was young (I believe that part). It's two short stories which depress him. Mainly the concept of them. Being left by a woman who lost all affection for you, how the days seem to never change, and how old age can take someone and turn them into a toothless baggy man. It's depressing.
