Album "WWI - The World, The Women & I - Blues"

recorded, mixed & produced by Philipp Selisky

lyrics

Julia

Julia and I
Went walking side by side
To my delight
She struck a note
In my mind

And it rings still
It’s ringing still
Since our last
Goodbye

Julia has had
Some things turn out bad
She made a guy
Her home for a while

But he let her pay all their bills
Made her pay quite dearly
Until she had to bid him
Goodbye

And it’s a chip on my shoulder
Though I hardly know her
That her heart’s still split from missing him

For Julia has said
Wrapped up in my bed
‘You’re a sensitive guy you’ve struck a note
In my mind

And though I really should
I really ought to, I really should
I won’t, yet, bid you
Goodbye’

And as our passions flew
Both her eyes turned to blue
Though one was meant to be brown

She thought it all too much
That two strangers such as us
Should act, speak and feel as we’ve done

Julia
I want good morning, good evening
but I don’t want any
Goodbye

Julia I hope
you don’t act peculiar
when next I try to strike another note
in your mind

That’ll ring out
Ring all the way out
Without any hasty
Goodbye

Julia
