Blues Lyrics and Video Performance by Steve Miller

indexSteve Miller of the NA Maintenance Department asks readers to bear in mind that lyrics are meant to be experienced in a performance, not read from a page. In the same way that a stage performance might be riveting in person but fall flat on a television screen, the lyrics on this post tell only a fraction of the story.

Six hours

Got a call yesterday, Billy died
Best friend I ever had, Lord, I cried
Annie says won’t you please say a word or two
Do it for me, you know he’s want you to
Six hours till I say good bye, and touch his face
All I can remember, is the way he sang Amazing Grace

So I’m still sitting here wondering what to say
If Billy was here he’d say doesn’t matter any way
Cause life’s for the living, but you know dying’s for the living, too Spend all out time worrying, never knowing what to do Six hours till I say good bye, and touch his face
All I can remember, is the way he sang Amazing Grace

I want to hear the sound of laughter once again
I want to hear the sound of laughter from my best friend All I’m going to hear today are blessings for the soul
I’m going to hate to hear the sound of that church bell toll Six hours till I say good bye, and touch his face
All I can remember, is the way he sang Amazing Grace 

 

Never Been As Lonely

Had dinner for one on Valentine’s Day Couples all stare, don’t care what they say I’ve stared down the tracks for a train overdue Never been as lonely as I’ve been with you.

I shiver I shake,it’s cold in this bed
I’ve talked myself blue, haven’t heard what I’ve said
 Lost in a crowd all blocking my view

Never been as lonely as I’ve been with you.

Just another day Just another day.

The engine keeps going but it’s running on fumes The roses all wilted and they’ll never bloom
Tears have all dried up and there’s nothing to do Never been as lonely as I’ve been with you Never been as lonely as I’ve been with you.
