Talkin Robertson Blues


I saw her talking to the walls
Heard her singing in the street
Saw her walking back and forth
Between you and me

I knew she must have had it hard
As a child without a dad
No one seemed to understand

She finds refuge in the bars
When her life is in repeat
The sirens in my head go off

Sing me something soft and sweet
Sing to me so I can understand, again
Make me laugh or make me long
I can't find nothing that is wrong, my friend

I saw her drinking too much wine
Saw a stranger saw a fool
Not the girl I met, years ago in Toronto
I knew it must have been her past
Creepin up the interstate
Ain't it hard just to relate

Now she's talking to the gods
And she starts to make a scene
The lions in her head go off

Sing me something soft and sweet
Sing to me so I can understand, again
Make me laugh or make me long
I can't find nothing that is wrong, my friend

Baby have no shame, it doesn't really matter again

Baby there's no blame, I couldn't ask for more from a friend

Sing me something soft and sweet
Sing to me so I can understand, again
Make me laugh or make me long
I can't find nothing that is wrong, my friend

Lyrics By Dan Zweben & Brian Lapin
