Whiskey & Violin Blues
Your old necklace lyin’ by my bed
Still holdin’ heat like you ain’t really dead
Cold black coffee mixed with cheap whiskey
Shakin’ in my hands, but I still miss thee
Every drag I take, I see your face in the smoke
Even the silence got your perfume, baby, I’m broke
This lonely midnight won’t set me free
So if your ghost is walkin’ through the rain
Come lay your shadow on this heart of pain
Play that violin slow, cry it out for me
Before this broken love fades in the whiskey
I’d rather burn with you than live without the flame
Come haunt me, baby… one more time again
Dusty pictures on the shelf, they stare at me
I talk to your memory like you still can see
Your goodbye echoes like a freight train low
Slow violin screamin’ through the midnight glow
Smoke curls round the lamp like your fingers used to do
I light another one… just to make it feel like you
Lord, this old heart won’t stop bleedin’ for you
So if your ghost is walkin’ through the rain
Come lay your shadow on this heart of pain
Let that violin weep, let it cut me deep
Before this broken love puts me six feet
I’d rather burn with you than live without the flame
Come haunt me, baby… one more time again
I know you’re gone… but the smoke still spells your name
Every empty bottle calls it just the same
If love can kill a man, then I’m already dead
Just pour me one more round… and lay down on my bed…
So if your soul is out there in the dark
Come lay your shadow on what’s left of my heart
Let that classical violin cry the blues for me
One last midnight smoker’s prayer, baby, set me free
I’d rather feel you hurtin’ me than feel nothing at all
Come break me… come break me…
One more time… before the morning falls…
Welcome to Red Grey Matter Club!
For the last years I’ve collaborated with many famous and relatively unknown blues & Rock artists and labels and helped them reach new audiences through my Red Grey Matter YouTube channel dedicated to promoting only quality music. Slowly growing, the channel has become one of the most popular places for fans of blues & Rock on the web.
If you’re a musician/band or music label and want to be featured on Red Grey Matter and the website here is what to do
Red Grey Matter is about the music. My mission is to promote lesser known blues & Rock artists and bring you a selection of tunes with real grit and emotion.
If you’re a music fan, you can enjoy my playlists on YouTube and my interesting music trivia posts on Facebook.
