NIGHTTIME BLUES
Baby, Baby, Baby
I got them old Nighttime Blues
The same ones I always get
When I get started missin' you
It's been a long cold lonely night, Babe
That's why they call them the Nighttime Blues...
I'm ok in the daytime
When the sun is shinin' in the sky
But when the moon and stars come out
All I wanna do, Baby, is cry
It's been a long cold lonely night, Babe
That's why they call them the Nighttime Blues...
Baby, Baby, Baby
I got them old NightTime Blues
The same ones I always get
When I get started missin' you
It's been a long cold lonely night, Babe
That's why they call them the NightTime Blues
You've been gone oh so long now
It seems like my whole world's gone black
And there ain't no hope of daylight
'Till the day you say you're comin' back
It's been a long cold lonely night, Babe
That's why they call them the NightTime Blues
Baby, Baby, Baby
I got them old NightTime Blues
The same ones I always get
When I get started missin' you
It's been a long cold lonely night, Babe
That's why they call them the NightTime Blues

FRUSTRATION
I am tired, but I cannot sleep;
I close my eyes, I even count sheep.
My body is aching; I need a nap;

The glistening stars have whispered
With the rolling of the tide
And the swirling wind of the east
As the water will soon arise
