Blind Lemon Bob

We were long ago
But now we're apart
I guess we's a bad match
Right from the start
You saw it 'fore I did
That we would have to part
But I was blind and wanted
To trust you with my heart

I wanted love to be real
More real than music, or other art
And the only way I knew to get there
Was to trust you with my heart

Love will never be so easy
Never be so sure
Never be so rich with feelings
Since I found out we were poor
I can never again go swimming
Off love's caressing shore
Since you handed me my heart back
And took yours out the door

I wanted love to be real
More real than music, or other art
And the only way I knew to get there
Was to trust you with my heart

So goodbye now, it's over
Goodbye forevermore
Goodbye from where I sit here
Broken on the floor
But I got my heart back
Though it feels a little sore
It's feeling mighty tender
There's still tears in store

I wanted love to be real
More real than music, or other art
And the only way I knew to get there
Was to trust you with my heart
