Night Market Blues

 

I've been wanderin on the street tonight

Walkin In the market feelin alive

It's crowded and It's loud and the scents

Have got me feeling spent

 

Weavin under flickering lights I move

Signs lit with big stroked grooves

Love, peave, earth, water, might 

 

When you come back babe, and you've got two steaming plates

I'm so hungry I could barely walk straight

So we sit and we eat with our legs hangin' off a bridge

I can barely believe I've known you just a week

 

And I sure do miss you, when you're no longer here

You know my dear, When I'm thinking bout you

I get the night market blues

 

Past the stands that are draped in silk and the 

Boy crouched over painting hills 

We share a drink and start walking funny

Remember when I almost lost my money

 

A bead of sweat are rolls down my back

But you feel cool, calm and slack

How I found my self with you

It must be my lucky hat

 

In the middle of the road, there's a circle of drummers growing

N I join em with my uki, and start strummin'

We dance and we sing and the passers by are slowing down

And the town comes to life

 

And I sure do miss you, when you're no longer here

You're my queen, When I'm thinking bout you

I get the night market blues

 

Half your face is glowing from the fire 

The other's dark but just as fine

Your tank top hangs from a thin white line

And its driving me wild

 

You ask the locals in their tongue 

For a store that's open until one

You grab my hand and start runnin' runnin' runnin yeah

 

I believe if you never leave,

I might stay here till all my days are done

But no you must go, and with it I must show 

That I can go as well

 

And I'll sure miss you, when you're no longer here

And you're my dear

When I'm thinking bout you

I get the night market blues
