Lyrics

Today I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them to try and find the wrong I done
The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one broke my heart in two
And all alone I left you weeping for the ashes of your letters tied in blue
[ steel ]

I thought I heard you calling my name
(Lee emerson)

You said goodbye to me this morning with only these words to explain
You said you've found someone you love better
But I still hear your voice call my name
I thought I heard you calling my name funny I still feel this way
Your voice seemed so close but I knew that by now you were many miles away
[ guitar ]

One way ticket to the blues

Once I thought your love I'd win but your old flame showed up in town again
Now I know your love I'd lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues
I've got a one way ticket to a world that's filled with tears
All my dreams and hopes are gone we built up through the years
Seems I can't win I always lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues
