Informed by the Blues

Sunlight screaming through my window feels like a hammer to my head And my mind is bleeding with the memory of the last words she said I did not know a man could feel, like his brain just blew a fuse Til I was informed by the blues I didn't know the terror of a trembling deer, paralyzed by deadly lights Or the agony of a gentle sheep, when that hungry wolf takes a bite Or the heartbreak of sweet Jesus, when he sees what his children do But now I've been informed by the blues Was I blinded by black magic, or did I just refuse to see While she filled my world with sweet light, I paid her back with lonely misery But now, layin here without her, Lord, this empty house feels like a tomb Cause I've been informed by the blues I guess it's my turn for a taste of all the hell I put her through Yes, I've been informed by the blues Ignorance or arrogance, neither one's a good excuse Or so I've been informed by the blues Yeah man, I've been informed by the blues
