BLUE RECOLLECTION (I) [original – rewritten incorporating war on alcohol]
Now the last thing I remember
You were walking out the door
Yes the last thing I remember
You were walking walking out that door
My hand reached for the bottle
and then there ain’t no more
you’re just a blue recollection
I swear y’ain’t nothing more
I wake up at nite
but it ain’t because of you
Oh yeah I wake up at nite
but it sure ain’t because of you
I’m just listening to the plaster crack
and the clock tick in the next guy’s room
you’re just a blue recollection
but that ain’t nothing new
Maybe ya gave me a rough time baby
but lya didn’t tear my world apart
I been kicked around by bigger than you baby
Ya didn’t tear my world apart
In fact I knew you’d be trouble
Way back at the Start
You’re just a blue recollection
it ain’t like ya broke my heart

BLUE RECOLLECTION
Now the last thing I remember
You were walking out the door
My hand reached for the bottle
then there ain’t no more
you’re just a blue recollection
I swear that ain’t nothin’ new
I been having trouble forgetting to remember that I don’t still love you
I wake up at nite
but it ain’t because of you
I’m just listening to the plaster crack
and the clock tick in the next guy’s room
you’re just a blue recollection
I swear that ain’t nothin’ new
I been having trouble forgetting to remember that I don’t still love you
Now the last thing I remember
You were walking out the door
My hand reached for the bottle
then there ain’t no more…
