It came as no surprise   When we stopped playing at   The same time   'Cause we've got no sound to   Fill the void   After someone like you      Cymbals, horns we play   It did not help in any way   They're only cosmetics   Bound to crack   Under your burning sun      So we stayed in the shade   Just waiting for you   To sing the next verse   To help us get through   And when we get to the bridge   Our spirits renewed   We can take the refrain and   Sing it to you      Tunes and chords and scales   Yes I know them all too well   But no matter how i strum and hum   I can't get it right      Oh lord I've seen the blues   It's not major but it's true   And you've got my songs to   Fill my room   Now fill me up too
