Po' Girl Cold Hungry Blues

I cooked all night, I cooked all day,
Driving the cold hungry blues away
Mmmm-mm, I got em on the run
Weaving a weary melody of everyday humdrum
As the night draws in the shadows grow long
My mind's released my fancy's freed
My senses revel in the cycle of the song

I cooked all night, I cooked all day,
Driving the cold hungry blues away
Mmmm-mm, I got em on the run

It's all been done, but we do it again
Building a dream bridge on an ancient foundation
There's beauty in the resonance, truth in repetition
We are what's come before, we are what will be, right now we do

I cooked all night, I cooked all day,
Driving the cold hungry blues away
Mmmm-mm, I got em on the run

A night wind's wuthering, ice licks the ground
I've got salt stains on my boots from the long walk downtown
The music of the motion lulls my winter jaded soul
And the seventh veil drops, the spiral spins whole
And I know, I know the beauty in the resonance
I know the truth in repetition, we are what's come before
And we are what will be and right now, right now we do
I cooked all night , I cooked all day
And I drove those cold hungry blues away
But they'll be back again, they'll be back again
Amen, amen

I cooked all night, I cooked all day,
Driving the cold hungry blues away
Mmmm-mm, I got em on the run
