The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream
James Taylor
[Verse 1] A tree grows in my back yard It only grows at night Its branches they’re all twisted Its leaves are afraid of light [Chorus] They say them blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when it’s lonely in the morning You’re bound to wish that you was lyin’ dead [Verse 2] There’s winds out on the ocean They’re blowin’ just as they choose But them winds ain’t got no emotion baby They don’t know the blues [Chorus] They say them blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when it’s lonely in the morning You’re bound to wish that you was lyin’ dead [Verse 3] My mind’s ramblin’ and ramblin’ Just like some a-rolling stone no Since that nightmare come to stay with me baby My thoughts just don’t belong [Chorus] They say them blues is just a bad dream They say it lives upside your head But when it’s lonely in the morning You’re bound to wish that you was lyin’ dead
