about

for Megh.

lyrics

she's as sweet as sweet can be,
finer than any shot of whiskey
when I see her face it makes me feel as free
as a blue blue jay,
or a cardinal depending on my mood today

she's the sweetest thing to me,
makes me feel glad then sad then sorta happy
sweeter than any wine
as sublime as a drop of honey
a-course I'm being serious
I'm not trying to be funny

she's as fair as a golden ale,
she churns my sea like a mighty gale
puts the evening winds in my sails
and ensnares my heart without fail
she's sweeter than anything
I could fathom or dream

oh my little blue blue blue jay
fly, fly, you're gonna fly away
be at peace my pretty little one
easy to tell you ain't havin' any fun
oh you're such a delicate one
go on fly, fly them blues away
I'll stay, I'll stay, I'll stay here,
dreamin' what dreams may come
