Blues im Blut

Standing again on the empty stage
The others have long gone
The last song still echoes in my ears
The curtain now swallows every word
In the back, they're already celebrating success
Was it really good enough?
I had so much planned, wanted so much
Why the anger now, why the anger

Chorus:
Thanks for the applause
It clears away the doubts
It gives the singer courage
Until next time
Thanks for this night
You made it easy for me
I was only good because of you
You are the blues in the blood

My heart beats loudly, the lights are out
And someone packs up the instruments
I'd rather stay, keep going
And be alone here for a hundred years
But cold light wakes me from my dream
Just speakers, cables, suitcases, dust
I had so much planned, wanted so much
Did you believe me, believe me

Chorus

The tires roll into the next town
I sleep in the back somewhere
Tomorrow won't be much different
Tell me, are we like this... are we like this

Chorus
You are the blues in the blood
You are the blues in the blood
I was only good because of you
You are the blues in the blood
