lyrics

NO DIRECTION BLUES
@Brenda Liddiard

I've been sitting around with my head in my hands
stuck on a feeling I couldn't understand
wondering what on earth am I doing in this place
it's even hard to put a smile on my face
suddenly I knew I had the no direction blues

I don't know where I'm going, don't know what to do
don't even know how I feel about you
don't know why I did all those things I did before
I only know the reasons don't exist anymore
you were the clue, and now I've got the no direction blues

Why'd it take me so long to see
just what your presence really meant to me?
it really didn't matter if I was going nowhere
just as long as you were there

Now at last I'll try to break away from your spell
I'm going to start some sort of life for myself
got to choose a road from all these sign-posts I see
or lead a life of mediocrity
I have to choose to lose the no direction blues.
