Oh Baba, some day I'll write you a love song But now I'll just sing the blues Some day I'll write you a love song But now though, I'll just sing the blues I suffer in the day, and the night time runs And to suffer is what I chose You lived and you died just for me, love Yesterday they brought me the news You lived and you died just for me, love Yesterday they brought me the news Still I waste my time holding first to what's mine It's no wonder that I just sing the blues I've got no time for the spirit's yearning No time for those higher things No time for the spirit's yearning Got no time for those higher things I've got earthily wants, burning churning inside And the blues is what that brings Beloved, I do want to love you Don't know why I always refuse Beloved, I want to love you I don't know why I always refuse Still I'll wait till I'm willing and worthy to serve you Till then I'll just sing the blues
