Lyrics
Newbury Blue
Wintertime's coming the rains falling hard
Nothing but dandelions left in the yard
Away in the distance the freight whistle moans
Leaves an ache in my heart and a chill on my bones.
I find I don't think of her much anymore
Though the memories have faded, I'm battered and sore
And there's times she's still with me, like she never was gone
And she rolls through my mind like a Newbury song
Cos he'd sing the songs with feeling so rare
And he wrote the sad ones like he really did care
No one makes music like Mick used to do
Now she's left me feeling Newbury blue
It's the lowliest feeling to be alone in the night
And it tortures your soul when you can't make love right
As reality proves much worse than your fears
And life gives you nothing but salt in your tears
But as much as it hurts you still struggle on
Alive in the darkness just waiting for dawn
But there is no relief in the bright morning light
You just find yourself facing one more Newbury night
