Blue House Of Broken Hearts

(Album: American Son - 1980)

In the blue house of broken hearts
There's a place for you by the door
Where the streetlights shine like the stars
Up on the city and down on the bars

We all know what it's like to be lonely
We all know what it's like to play the fool
We all know what it's like to go crazy
The world through this window so distant and cool

In the blue house of broken hearts
We don't stroll out on the floors
Though the jukebox plays that old waltz
Nobody feels like dancing no more

You think you're different
But you'll find you're wrong
Brother, all of us here, feel the same
Tell us all where she's gone
Let that blue light come on
And shine on this fool for the day

In the blue house of broken hearts
In the blue house of broken hearts
In the blue house of broken hearts
In the blue house of broken hearts
