Penny      (C) J.Birch 2005.   Young man’s solo ballad

          

         

          If I , had , a penny

          I would , buy , my love , some shoes

          Because , she hasn't , any

          To take , away , her blues

 

          If I , had , a dime

          I would , buy , my love , a pearl

          Because , she said , to me

          That she , would be , my girl

 

          And if I had a million

          I wouldn't need to cry

          My lover would have everything

          And then so would I

 

          But for me

          To watch

          Her walk

          Down the stairs

          When her hair is neatly combed

          Is everything

          I ever wanted

          Just to have her here

 

          The only thing I ever wanted

          Is just to have her here

 

          If I , had , a dollar

          My love , would have , it all

          Because , she is , everything , to me

          She is , my girl

 

          And if I had a million

          I wouldn't need to cry

          My lover would have everything

          And then so would I

 

 

                                                                     

 

 

               I AM BLUE         (C) J.BIRCH I997.

                                                                       

               Over my shoulder   I sling my guitar

               Walkin away   from my love

               I feel so much older   as I get in my car

               Walkin away   from my love

 

               Turn on the key --- And the radio's on ---

               They're talkin to me   with every song

                        

                                                                   

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue

                                                                        

                                                                        

               The tears in my eyes   are hard to disguise

               Walkin away   from my love

               I dont want to get wet   still I can not forget

               Walkin away   from my love

 

               Turn off the key --- And the radio fades ---

               The echo in me   picks up and plays

             

                                                                      

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue

                                                                                                       

                                                                        

               The call of the chords   is callin my name

               Walkin away   from my love

               The song that I'm singing   was meant to be played

               Walkin away   from my love

           

               Turn off the lights --- And the memory fades ---

               But right now its bright   I sing and play

              

                                                                     

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue

               Cuz' I ..... am Blue
