when luther played the blues - hans theessink lyrics

Loading...

i’d been playing my guitar – when i laid down last night
heard some heavenly blues – saw you standing in the spotlight
you smiled and i felt closeness – reached out my hand, but you were gone
i felt sweet inspiration – woke up and wrote you a song

the blues was your church – you invited us in
your blues – a universal language – no matter what colour your skin
you taught us: stand together people – instead of being apart
you preached healing blues power – it came straight from the heart

if there ever was a preacher – preaching the blues
if there ever was a teacher – that could fill out his shoes
there were no boundaries – no limits
when luther played the blues

people flocking to see you – when you came to town
knew you would give it all – knew you wouldn’t let them down
sometimes you asked me to join you – for a tune or a song
man, how you lifted me up – didn’t want to come down

if there ever was a preacher – preaching the blues…

i was touring in texas – you were fixin’ to die
i called you one last time – with tears in my eyes
you were too weak to speak – death was taking it’s toll
the grave got your body – but the blues got your soul

if there ever was a preacher – preaching the blues..
