Kelly's Blues

Kelly left her front light on I came around Her tree blew over I shook her branches down The wind and I, we howled around her door Now there's a buckle in the sky. Iightning on the shore And a face reflected in a puddle on the floor Nobody knows the darkness of Kelly's blues How they turn in on her, how they let her bad side loose How thin must she grow in this cold and dirty room? How can I put it in between words? Kelly, come on out of the gloom Now her window frame is banging in the sea breeze Her tabby cat is crying as it rubs itself up against my knees Her typewriter keys chatter as my fingers freeze Her lines are down, her phone is dead Kelly's car is rusting in my back shed How can I put it in between words? Kelly, come on out of the gloom How can I put it in between words? Nobody knows the darkness of Kelly's blues
