Midsummer blues but I feel so good A sidewalk café with tasty food And I am writing this little letter to you What happened seems so stupid now I know I hurt you somehow And it will take me years to make it up to you Everybody falls asleep but I’m awake now, and at your feet With a simple question: do you love me too? Midsummer blues I watch the birds go by Flyin’ around in the deep blue sky But all that I can think of girl is you I might just be a foolish man But when the sun is shinin’ on my head I’d like to sit down and have a drink or two Everybody falls asleep but I’m awake now, and at your feet With a simple question: do you love me too? Everybody falls asleep but I’m awake now, and at your feet With a simple question: do you love me too?

Hush 03:48
Imagine a crowded station The hustle bustle of a nation The hurried avoiding the slow Beggars ‘n tramps never seem to go Been staring at the buzzing crowd Going up ‘n down, in and out And in this sea of color, guys I see that pair of beautiful eyes Hush, little baby, cuddle me now Dogs bark, birds whistle, cats meow Tears dry, fears fly, when I draw you close And as I take my pills, yes two’s the dose I dance with you in the orange light Grotesque shadows swing’n the night The rain left a shimmer on the cobbled street Reflecting your love I need I take your head with both my hands Kiss your lips and feel your glance Oh, I’m hypnotized Haunted by those beautiful eyes Hush, little baby, cuddle me now Dogs bark, birds whistle, cats meow Tears dry, fears fly, when I draw you close And as I take my pills, yes two’s the dose Tenderly I strip your white lace gown Hold you gently, when I put you down Folded like a baby, asleep Folded, I softly weep Hush, little baby, cuddle me now Dogs bark, birds whistle, cats meow Tears dry, fears fly, when I draw you close And as I take my pills, yes two’s the dose

Mary was a dancing at the lindy hop ball Boy she danced amazin', blazin' star of the hall Boogie and a swinging, saw ‘r pretty long legs And I was thinking ‘bout-a steaming hot steps At the lindy hop blues (Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues) Lindy hop blues (Lindy hop) At the lindy hop Oh man My mind went pop Courting dancing Mary at the lindy hop ball In Spring and summer up until a sunny blue fall Silky white dress ‘round ’r pretty long legs And I carried ‘r up the lindy church steps At the lindy hop blues (Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues) Lindy hop blues (Lindy hop) At the lindy hop Oh man My mind went pop Mary kept on dancing at the lindy hop ball Eyed by ev’ry hopper and she saw them all Rumors were a spreading ‘bout ‘r pretty long legs And I dreamed of dancers and steaming hot steps At the lindy hop blues (Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues) Lindy hop blues (Lindy hop) At the lindy hop Oh man My mind went pop Mary was the dance star of the lindy hop ball Kelly, Fred Astair; yet I’m better then all Hit her on the head, flipped ‘r pretty long legs And I buried Mary near the lindy church steps At the lindy hop blues (Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues) Lindy hop blues (Lindy hop) At the lindy hop Oh man My mind went pop
