Blues Within Blues

Dreaming Blues

 Came John Lee Hooker in a dream to me

            asking me to sing along

Came John Lee Hooker in a dream to me

            asking me to sing along

We were tumbling down a mountain

            and he handed me this song:                       

Empty House Blues 

Too many doors in that house

to keep you from walking away

Too many doors in that house

to keep you from walking away

Not enough locks on the fences 

            to keep you inside the gate

           

Too many windows to see through

to keep you from wanting to go

Too many windows to see through

to keep you from wanting to go

Not enough walls to hold you

or keep you from passing through

Not enough roofs on the rooftop

            to cover the holes that you left

Not enough roofs on the rooftop

            to cover the holes that you left

To many stairs in the staircase

            too many to climb up

When I woke up in the morning

            All these words were gone

When I woke up in the morning

            All these words were gone

I had to get some new ones

Came out something like a song
