The Set Up (and then it was time to go)

Music and Lyrics by Brian Fairbanks
Ferocious Jones Music 2010

Well I walked out of Texas
Like I knew this Dream
Without a clue

I had come to settle things
With the Girl
Who had settled on the blues

She’d set the storm on the loose
Swayed the Devil
In his place of delight

All these fine memories
That I had
Of holding her real tight

But I’d been set up
With the get up
Her rings cut me
As I did arrive

To see her Blond hair
And Blue eyes
And shadows that danced at night


I went out of my mind
When I saw the line
Leading in to town

You know it’s quite a risky business
Showing up
And not telling anyone you’re around

I could have loved her forever
Laid in her place
Until I died

But Blond hair
And Blue eyes
Had other plans
Lying by her side


I pushed you
So
Far Away
I put you
So
Far Away

She paints the moonlight
My eyes danced
As her shadow twirls

And with those large blue eyes
You say,
“Darlin’ you remember you once held this girl”

I do

Well
I once held this girl
I tried
But it never rang true

We keep our secrets alive
Mine survive
As the window I look through

So I rode into Juarez
Still sane
As she led me inside

I said,
“ I’ll love you forever,
As long as forever’s tonight”

Oh, anything else I’d tell you
Would be lovely
A lovely little lie

Now with that blond hair
And blue eyes
Darling we both know
You’ll get by
