Only The Blues Lyrics - Donovan Leitch

When you wake up in the morning 

and can't seem to raise your head 

You sit staring in the teacup 

at the egg upon your bread 

And the life that you are living 

doesn't seem to be quite real 

You have only what the lonely call the blues 

When you're feeling tired and weary 

with your eyes cast to the floor 

for a loved one who has left you 

on a bleak and distant shore 

You may think you're being picked on 

but you are not the first 

to have only what the lonely call the blues 

- There are no rules to follow 

No advice to take 

You're the only one 

who can give yourself a shake 

Someone will appear 

to dispel all your fear 

in a funny unexpected way - 

Then you'll wake up in the morning 

with a smile upon your face 

And you'll look out on the world 

and see it is a happy place 

With no memory of misery 

you will soon forget 

you had only what the lonely call the blues
