Blues Never Fade Away

(Hmm, hmm, oh)
 He wasn't famous but I sure did love him
 I've got his picture in a little frame
 He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
 But there's so many more and I've lost count
 The hows and whys aren't important now
 All that matters is they came around
 And brightened up our lives
 She was twenty one with her life ahead
 You don't need to know her name
 She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade
 But fate's right hand isn't always just
 Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust
 She was just a little girl ain't that enough
 To rage against the day
 And how did we get so lucky?
 Targets on the rifle range
 Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
 Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
 It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
 And blues never fade away
 Hey, hey, the colors run when the rain falls
 But blues never fade away
 
 He shone so bright with a lust for life
 Like the Sun King that he was
 His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth
 And for reasons I never understood
 About the choices made between the bad and good
 I've tried to figure out but
 The pain never goes away
 And how did we get so lucky?
 Targets on the rifle range
 Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
 Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
 It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
 And blues never fade away
 Hey, hey, hey, the colors run when the rain falls
 But blues never fade away
 And there's marble markers and little white crosses
 Along the beaten path
 And I've spread their ashes on the wind
 And I miss John Lennon's laugh (John Lennon's laugh)

 To fade away, to fade away (Hmm, hmm)
