As I stand by your flame   I get burned once again   Feelin' low down and blue, Yeah      As I sit by the fire   of your warm desire   I've got the blues for you, Yeah      Every night you've been away   I've sat down and I have prayed   That you're safe in the arms of a guy   Who will bring you alive   Won't drag you down with abuse      In the silk sheet of time   I will find peace of mind   Love is a bed full of blues      And I've got the blues for you   And I've got the blues for you   And I've got burned up for you   And I'll tear my hair out   I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you   If you don't believe what I'm saying   At three o'clock in the morning, babe, well,   I'm singing my song for you
