Lyrics:

(N.Diamond) [Recorded August 22, 1979, New York] [instrumental intro] Song sung blue, everybody knows one Song sung blue, every garden grows one Me and you are subject to the blues now and then But when ya take the blues and make a song Ya sing 'em out again Song sung blue, weepin' like a willow Song sung blue, sleepin' on my pillow Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice And before you know, it starts to feelin' good Ya simply got no choice (Song sung blue), everybody knows one (Song sung blue), every garden grows one Me and you are subject to the blues now and then But when ya take the blues and make a song Ya sing 'em out again (Song sung blue), weepin' like a willow (Song sung blue), sleepin' on my pillow Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice And before you know, it starts to feelin' good Ya simply got no choice [instrumental mixed with backups' (Song sung blue)] [Fade]
