John Mayall Blues For The Lost Days Lyrics

Blues For The Lost Days Lyrics

Looking back through the years

Like I got myself a time machine

Memories flood around me

People and places where I've been

I had
the blues for the lost days

Way back when times were lean



We
had Sonny Boy, Freddy King and Hendrix

And they'd be sitting in till the
break of dawn

Sweating at the all night Flamingo

And coming out to
pigeons on a Sunday morn

So many raves, so much music

But back
then, nobody knew that the London blues were born



So today I got
to thinking

Where go friends that drift apart

Some of them are dead
and gone now

But they still live on in my heart

I had the blues for
the lost days

And there ain't never gonna be no counterpart
