The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream
James Taylor
A tree grows in my back yard It only grows at night Its branches they're all twisted Its leaves are afraid of light They say the blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when it's lonely in the morning You're bound to wish that you was lying dead There's winds out on the ocean They're blowing just as they choose But then winds ain't got no emotion, baby And they don't know the blues They say the blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when it's lonely, lonely in the morning You're bound to wish that you was lying dead My mind is rambling and rambling Just like some rolling stone, no Since that nightmare's come to stay with me, baby My thoughts just don't belong They say the blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when they visit you around midnight You're bound to wish that you were lying deadjames taylor
