Lyrics Parker Millsap – At The Bar (Emerald City Blues)

Dorothy, can I ask you a question or two
And I’m gonna dare you to tell me the truth
I heard a rumor that you’ve got the blues
So dance with me Dorothy in your ruby red shoes

I’ve a weakness for waltzes, I’m a sucker for sad songs
But it ain’t my fault, it’s the way I’ve become
Don’t get me wrong, I’m as happy as the daytime is long
But in a melancholy melody, that’s the place I belong

Tin Man, can I ask you to tell me the time
And Tin Man please tell what’s been on your mind
I heard a rumor you’re looking to find
A piece of yourself that’s been left behind
A hole for a heart’s no excuse to feel blue
I’ve never known a hole that can be broken too

I’ve a weakness for waltzes, I’m a sucker for sad songs
And it ain’t my fault, it’s the way I’ve become
Don’t get me wrong, I’m as happy as the daytime is long
But in a melancholy melody, that’s the place I belong
In a melancholy melody, that’s the place I belong
