Night Of The Blues (Version 2)

If it was hope, if it was rope

It was an alcove built on a slope

I got to you over drinks and Martinis

And slight overdue

We wait for our background to sell us the news

How we got together, the night of the blues

Sitting in the bar, initialing a star

Caught in the circle of going so far

Out-street was a crier, and the lights blew a fuse

How we got together, the night of the blues

Now that I know you, and you know me too

Panic forgives me for trying to choose

The piano was dancing, the wind knew the tunes

How we got together, the night of the blues

I made a hat out of newspaper runes

You had a chat with the men in the moons

We both had a chance to exchange our views

How we got together the night of the blues

How we got together the night of the blues

Notes: There are two versions of this song performance with some slight variants. The initial lines “If it was hope, if it was rope, It was an alcove built on a slope” are missing in one, and between the two versions there are also other slight variants such as “at the bar” instead of “in the bar”, “the wind knew the tunes” and the “the winds knew the tune”.
