My ukulele song, better for a female to sing but this is my work tape. I was studying some unique lyrical structures by Bernie Taupin when I wrote this, it shows up in the last verse and the ending.

Buried In The Blues
(words and music by Bill Naughton, Jr.)

P.O. Box 146, Cobalt, CT 06414

Yesterday was April seventeenth,
And you say it slipped your mind about our anniversary,
But I think it may be more than what you say,
Now I'm buried in the blues today...

I didn't want to spend last night alone,
I had dinner planned by candle light but you never made it home,
So I drank the wine to try to ease the pain,
Now I'm buried in the blues today...

- middle eight-

I remember you said that you’d never forget,
Ain't it funny how fast feelings fade,
I can see it in your eyes, those little white lies,
And I'm buried in the blues today....

I've been through this before and it's not fun,
It's always me who ends up hurting after all is said and done,
I don't have a heart of stone it's more like clay,
You're gonna have to understand that if you decide to stay,
And you'll have to make me think that things will change,
Or I'll stay buried in the blues like today...

I need to hear you tell me that for you love's not a game,
Or I'll stay buried in the blues like today...
I'm buried in the blues today...
