Duke Ellington - Rocks in my bed

Tekst :

My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done spread
Rocks in my bed

Of all the people I see
Why do they pick on poor me
and put rocks in my bed

All night long I weep
So how can I sleep
with rocks in my bed

There s only two kinds of people
I can t understand
There s only two kinds of people
I can t understand
That s a deceitful woman
And a hard faced man

She took my man away
And ain t goin bring him back
She took my man away
And ain t goin bring him back
She s lower than a snake down in a wagon track

(bridge)

I got rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed
Rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed

Under-loved, over-fed
My man s gone, so instead
I got rocks in my bed
Under-loved, over-fed
My man s gone, so instead
I got rocks in my bed

  • Day dream
  • Satin doll
  • I got it bad
  • Sophisticated lady
  • Caravan
  • Azure
  • Everything but you
  • All too soon
  • I let a song go out of my heart
  • Prelude to a kiss
  • My little brown book
  • In a mellow tone
  • Drop me off in harlem
  • Solitude
  • Bli-blip
  • In a sentimental mood
  • Just squeeze me
  • Lush life
  • Lost in meditation

    Still

    Time goes by
    Still I care for you
    Love can be tough
    Cannot deny it
    I have learned
    And all thanks to you
    You give and you take
    There’s no way around it

    I may not know
    The things I should say
    Know that my heart is in the...

    Lost in meditation

    (Ooh intro)

    I am lost in meditation
    And my reverie
    Brings you back to me
    For, in my imagination
    Love has lingered on
    As though you d never gone

    This is just a dream that can not last
    When the magic of this mood has passed
    So, I sit in meditation
    Trying to pretend, this mood will never end

    Lost in...

    Thought you had my back

    Every girls got to go through it and every man has to go through it its a thing called love.
    Listen to me now Listen to me.
    I still remember the day that you said you was a badboy.
    Man I should have listened when you said you was a bad boy.
    You took...

    Caught by deceit

    A fear to be alone
    has driven us apart

    In your hollow eyes I sense the ultimate frost
    A story never to be told

    Caught by deceit
    We dance on a river s stream

    Although survived a storm of pervading insane words
    This stream is flowing to the sea

    I...

    Living in the moment

    I thought i could live forever here on my own
    It seemed things were so much better out here alone
    A lonely dreamer, a nonbeliever, now
    I m living in the moment with the friends i love
    I knew i could feel more power living life without love
    So i spent my days and hours...
