BLUES FOR BREAKFAST
(c) 2002 Linda Susswein

Verse

Woke up to find
No sunshine.
Went to the kitchen,
Sat down to dine
On blues for breakfast,
A brand new recipe
That makes a single serving
Of lonesome misery.

Verse

Greasy spoon at noon,
My order's no surprise.
I get the blues plate special
With an extra side of sighs.
Coffee break and heart ache,
I have 'em twice a day.
Got a dinner date with sorrow
And I just can't get away.

Bridge

Now I wish for a dish
Of tenderness, but - no.
All I eat is something
Sweet and low.

And so,

Verse

My pantry's never empty.
With all the tears I store
I can pour a pint at midnight
And another one at four.
When dawnin' turns to mornin',
I know it's gonna be
Only blues for breakfast
'Til you're home and here with me.

It's just the blues for breakfast
'Til you're back home with me.
