Blues in One Act

Play me lonely, play me blue, be glad it's me my friend, not you.
 
Since you left, took the kids  
I'm sat in an all night bar  
I've hit the booze, I've hit this skids  
Not knowing where you are  
 
The blues pours softly down the walls  
From a decadent saxophone  
Forlorn trumpet muted calls  
To remind me I'm alone  
 
Pathetic, blousy, junkie whore  
Says she’ll ease my pain  
Wants my money, nothing more  
Makes that very plain  
 
Piano’s notes caress my ear  
The drummer soft he beats  
Lost everything I held dear  
Now walk the purple streets  
 
It’s four a.m. and here I am  
Heart bleeding on the floor  
I'm too drunk to give a damn  
So I'm leaving with the whore
