Brown and Blue

 

Once I took a one three-day songwriter workshop with Old Man Luedecke, and on the second day he introduced us to his way of writing songs for the banjo. I wrote this song overnight, and the next day he ripped it apart, and (in the group) reassembled it. So, not all of this is mine.

 


 

I met my match in her blue eyes
if I'd only known, they are full of lies.
I met my love in a velvet dress,
I met her lover, made him confess.

We were to meet on Friday night,
her alibi - a warning light.
These are lies you can't disguise,
but they melt away in her blue eyes.

[Oh blue-eyed girl - kind and sweet,
every look full of deceit.
Oh blue-eyed girl - kind and sweet,
worst eyes I'll ever meet.]

I met a girl with eyes of brown,
in whose look I intend to drown.
She did not like my blue-eyed flame,
she promised not to be the same.

Brown-eyed girl in a bed of size,
the colour blue still resides.
A brand new page is still a blank,
as into love I sweetly sank.

[Oh brown-eyed girl - sweet and kind,
when I look into your eyes you free my mind.]
