Name: Orbison (with Ruby In The Dust)
Duration: P00H03M26S
Description: this was included on the CD as one of two bonus tracks as they were new recordings of older songs. 'Orbison' was originally on 'Hypericum Perforatum' as a solo recording but I always dreamed of getting the full on female backing, which is what we tried with Ruby In The Dust. I just wish I was more experienced at recording mass vocals at the time.

lyrics

(plus bonus chords!)
A E
Orbison, Roy Orbison, when I’m lonely just like you
A C#m D A F#m D A E
I like awake and contemplate, to the voice of Blue Bayou

D E C#m F#m
The nights I’ve found that you surround me
D E F#m B D
So many times you’ve helped me through, helped me through

Crawling Back, a familiar track, when there’s nowhere to begin
A neon light, and a warm still night, somehow fits the mood I’m in

D E C#m F#m
A world of dreams, bluetescent themes
D E F#m
Give this lonely soul a thrill
D E C#m F#m
To sing like you what wouldn’t I do?
D E F#m B F#m B F#m
But I know nobody will, noone will, noone will

Orbison, Roy Orbison, when I’m lonely just like you
I like awake and contemplate, to the voice of Blue Bayou
