When the day turns into evening
and I don’t know what to say.
I just tune in to the music,
yeah pick up my guitar and play.

And it all comes together.
Words and music fill me up.
I know what I always said is true,
that the sad songs are the best.

Now the party time is over,
you’ve all gone back to your lives.
Well I sit here on my own again
and I listen to the Blues.

And it all comes together.
Words and music fill me up.
I know what I always said is true,
that the sad songs are the best.

I lie awake now in the darkness.
A tune I wrote today goes round and round.
Then some words come drifting up to me
and I know how it’s gonna sound.

And it all comes together.
Words and music fill me up.
I know what I always said is true,
that the sad songs are the best.
