Gandhi Blues Lyrics:
My voice is tired
And I feel broken
Ive been singing you the Gandhi Blues
All I want is to feel much better
And make my way [ooh] back home to you
Take me into your arms
Take me into your arms, where I stand a chance
Take me into your arms
Give me your full attention
My voice is tired
And I feel broken, (ay-oh)
Now I know Ive been letting you down
Ive been trying to find my way back to you but
My voice is tired
And I feel broken, (ay-oh)
Ive been singing you the Gandhi Blues
I’ve been trying to work hard all for you
But...ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ive been singing you the Gandhi Blues
Ive been singing you the Gandhi Blues
Ive been wishing you were around
Drifting on my own again
Take me into your arms, where I stand a chance
Give me your full attention
Gandhi Blues
Ive been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
Ive been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
Ive been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
Ive been singing you the Gandhi blues
Gandhi Blues
Ive been singing you the Gandhi blues
My voice is tired
And I feel broken
I know Ive been letting you down
Trying to make my way to you
My voice is tired
And I feel broken
I know Ive been letting you down
Trying to make my way to you")
