I'd put on Eric Clapton's blues
I’d put on Eric Clapton’s blues
While you’d kiss my back
Sing, guitar, sing!
And we’d lie on the sofa and handle each other
My brittle frame confining your
Heavy composition
You craved me, I know
Yet you were just a thrill to me
Yeah, you knew you were my thrill
Credulous like a lamb, in your lap I was
Dazzled by the explosions filling those velvet eyes
‘Cause they reached into me and shook my bones;
My bones need shaking
My marrow was breaking
Vacillating
I melted right there with you ‘cause
I’d be freezing and your heat
Would surround me
Until the sun’s warmth wet our bodies
And I’d contemplate you and, puzzled, wonder,
‘Cause you’d kiss my back and I’d put on Eric Clapton’s blues
Sing guitar sing!
I felt you alright,
Just like I felt the blues.
