Well, I never seem to respond to these challenges...it's high time I did. To make up for it I did two colors and even threw in some sports analogies to add to that previous challenge. This one needs plenty of work, but here's the first draft.

Black and Blue Blues

Black and blue blues
You’ve got me spinning around
Too sick to sing you this tune
Too blue to cry
Too black to see my way home
Fly me to the black and blue moon

Black and blue blues
Please carry me home

Black and blue blues
You got me beat up and down
Too hurt to feel it anymore
When you are through
Please leave your business card
Just to scrape me off of the floor

Black and blue blues
Please carry me home

When I was a young man
You could never take me down
But the punches keep coming and coming
Round after round

Black and blue blues
I get so tired of you
I just can’t take another bruise
Time to move on
What say we call it a night?
Ring the bell, you win and I lose

Black and blue blues
Please carry me home
Black and blue blues
Just leave me alone
