Lyrics for Song Sung Blue:
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 you take the blues
And make a song
You sing 'em out again
You sing 'em out again
Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Me and you are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you take the blues
And make a song
You sing 'em out again
Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Song sung blue
Funny thing,
But you can sing it with a cry in your voice

Lyrics for I Am...I Said:
LA's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back
Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
LA's fine, but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more
I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone
I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
I am, I said
I am, I cried
I am...

Lyrics for Smokey Lady:
Smokey Lady
Spend your time
Makin' full grown men a full grown baby
Move on, move on,
Move on, move on, move on
But I'm just settlin'
'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately
Smokey Lady, what you do to me
Got me goin'
Night time women
Half not carin', half not knowin'
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Have a good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see
Smokey Lady run before me,
Run behind me
Where you're goin'
Come on, come on,
Come on, come on, come on
Have good time flyin', half die tryin'
Come on and take me Smokey Lady,
See what you can see
Smokey Lady
Smokey Lady
