Nils Lofgren - Black Books

One last time from Freddy's joint
we drove out to lover's point
shared our last kiss eye to eye
Spoke of tender times long past
said they weren't meant to last
too many different needs to satisfy


She wants
new shoulders to cry on
new backseats to lie on
and she always gets her way
She wants to see other guys
get lost in other eyes
baby's in the black books
yes she's in the black books today


I've yet to find a dreary bar
where whispers don't drift from afar
about her wild and wicked ways
The hardest truths don't have a why
often true love will just die
and leave a grief to haunt
the lonely nights and days


She wants
new shoulders to cry on
new backseats to lie on
and she always gets her way
She wants to hurt other guys
put tears in other eyes
baby's in the black books
yes she's in the black books today
She wants to hurt other guys
put tears in other eyes
Baby's in the black books
yes she's in the black books today

Essa, entre tantas outras, é uma obra-prima do "the Godfather of the Guitar, the Minister of Heart and Spirit, the great, great" Nils Lofgren. Black Books, em sua versão acústica, foi tocada também no final de um episódio de The Sopranos, uma série muito legal, por sinal. Curiosamente, a interpretação original dela é meio gospel e R&B e eu nunca a achei nos Iutubiu da vida; quem sabe um dia eu mesmo uploado?
