Letra de 'Alone Again Blues' de Ian Matthews

She slipped out of the door in her traveling shoes
Got a man on her mind, not a minute to lose
She's so well intentioned, but hardly a clue
And she just can't shake these alone again blues
Just the night before last she awoke with a start
After falling asleep by the fire in the dark
She felt something was wrong
Something strange and bizarre
And she needed to stop it from tearing apart

When they met it was brief, he was cool and so loose
She walkingon air in some other girl's shoes
In a moment of weakness, he'd tried and she knew
There'd be nothing to show but alone again blues

And she sings,
"Red sky evening, now he's leaving
Grey sky morning, now he's gone"

WeIl she let him walk out without even a fight
By convincing herself they were too much alike
When he cursed her and left her, it seemed only right
They'd just bitten off more than they'd planned in one night

WeIl she broke down and cried, but it wasn't no good
For the thought of him leaving just darkened her mood
Till the rage she was feeling polluted her blood
And she could not believe how he'd misunderstood

She raved and she ranted, it wasn't her fault
And she could not abide a man not worth his salt
It was something much deeper than pride could undo
It was poetic justice, alone again blues

And she sings,
"Red sky evening, now he's leaving
Grey sky morning, now he's gone"

So she drove through the city all over the place
She was feeling rejected, feeling disgraced
She finally gave up, parked outside of his place
With this mask of bewilderment covering her face

She's the kind of a girl he won't ever forget
A little mistake that he couldn't correct
It's "finders are keepers," it's "merci beaucoup"
When you just can't shake those alone again blues

And she sings,
"Red sky evening, now he's leaving
Grey sky morning, now he's gone"
