Intro: And a river ran, and a train ran, and a dream ran through everything that he did There was melody, there was harmony, there was sweet Sherrie, but it was melody he loved most of all An ice cube in a quiet room melts through an afternoon 32 in the shade And a books talks, and a magazine speaks, and a window breaks, and a movie was in his head It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy, when that love is blue, the love is blue It was a head trip, it was a friendship, he picked me up when I might have slipped and not done a thing A sly grin, that played to win, we will not see his kind again anymore It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy, when that love is blue, the love is blue Solo (as intro) I write these words to his tune that he wrote on a full moon And a river ran, and a train ran, and a dream ran through everything that he did It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy, when that love is blue, the love is blue
