Yonder Come The Blues

Moonlit girls hiding in the dunes

Stars are falling like rockets in ruins

I'm in the meadows where the roses bloom

The orange blossoms shaking loose

Lovers talking like lovers do

Summer's twilights had them fooled

Yonder come

Yonder come

Yonder come the blues

Clap your hands, stomp your boots

Yonder come the blues

My feet are planted in the waist-high reeds

In the shadows in the shape of trees

Through the kingdom's smoky leaves

You'd be laughing too if you could see

On the outskirts long and lean

Not baring gifts on a jet black steed

Yonder come

Yonder come

Yonder come the blues

Ain't no rumor, it's simply true

Yonder come the blues

A dozen fingers and an easy touch

Throwing ashes in the pixie dust

Locked and loaded right off the bus

It's got us numbered, the two of us

Sing that gospel and get your thrills

Raise the roof off and strike the bell

You'd be dancing too if you could tell

It's waking up and coming out of it's shell

Down the boulevard sirens pass

Into the underworld deep and black

With brass and ladders, pick and axe

Down the stairwell through the blast

Single file out, don't be last

Not every one of us is coming back

Yonder come

Yonder come

Yonder come the blues

Move on back and let them through

Yonder come the blues
