Colvin, Shawn - Round Of Blues Lyrics






Here we go again
Another round of blues
Several miles ago
I set down my angel shoes
On a lost highway
For a better view
Now in my mind's eye
All roads lead to you

[Chorus:]
So wherever you go
You better take care of me
This time
If you're gonna go
Remember me and all
This time

We had our bitter cheer
And sweet sorrow
We lost a lot today
We get it back tomorrow
I hear the sound of wheels
I know the rainbow's end
I see lights in a fat city
I feel love again

[Chorus]

All this time
I been makin' deals
Shades of black and white
On a Hollywood reel
All this time
I been missing
Something so real
All this time
I been a face in the crowd
Now I'm living in color
And laughing out loud
All these names
For just foolin' around
It's a new breakthrough
It's an old break down

We smoked a lot of hope
We did our cryin' , too
We're finally waking up
To what real love can do
Down a lost highway
Under the twilight moon
A chorus in your eyes
Another round of blues

[Chorus]

We had all
This time
We had all
This time

  1. M.... W....

    Such a good singer-songwriter - but who knew she could pull off such a hot, sultry video as this? Whew! *fanning self*

  2. B.... J....

    She is awesome....were is she now????

  3. r.... p....

    I love Shawn. the last time I saw her in concert she had gained 50 -60 pounds. I
    did not recognize her.

  4. p.... c....

    Gabriel to Shawn " here are Your wings!!" Shawn ;" Aw Shucks!!'

  5. A.... F....

    That's what you call music

  6. I.... S....

    Let's not forget Shawn's writing partner and incredible guitarist...John Levanthal..an absolute genius producer and one of the greatest guitarists out there...he was a very integral component in her music and SOUND!!!

  7. J.... P....

    I think you can pretty much take of yourself there

  8. S.... W....

    Love this album and Shawn.

  9. H.... S....

    Wow she is so beautiful. I never heard this song before

  10. L.... ....

    Breathtakingly beautiful!

  11. D.... M....

    and angelic voice ,great thought-provoking songs ,and beautiful guitar arrangements. One of my favorite all-time songs and videos

  12. D.... A....

    you can feel she has a lot of people/family who love her. it comes thru in her songs

  13. J.... M....

    Just try to not tap your foot to this song, I dare you.....................LOL!!!!

  14. L.... o....

    "It's a new breakthrough; it's an old breakdown" Yes, Shawn. That's what we're all feeling when you sing your songs. Thanks for putting it into words for us. We love you!

  15. e.... p....

    Ti amo!

  16. P.... S....

    Found this last night. Brilliant!

  17. H.... R....

    I love this. It brings back memories. On WHFS (Bethesda MD) back in the 90s, one of the DJ's used this for her sign-out.

  18. T.... B....

    I never tire of listening to this. Each listen reveals another wonderful little inflection or bit of phrasing.

  19. m.... k....

    wow,i'm liking this!

  20. p.... e....

    Shawn is a great artist and has a great collection of albums
    Each one an absolute treat
    Had 'A Few Small Repairs' and 'Whole New You' on earlier; might slip on 'Fat City' later for a Colvin Day
    A great one indeed

  21. d.... ....

    Shawn Colvin is a perfect example of how it's best to seek out quality music rather than wait for mass marketing to present them to you. She had two main marketing pushes in the 90's, but the quality of her music goes much further than the radio-played "hits". And she is so great to see in concert.

  22. B.... S....

    I grew up on Fat City, Steady On, and Cover Girl Shawn Colvin's music feel s like home to me. ❤️

  23. C.... R....

    Love this song--hear it every morning at the Corner Bakery Cafe!!

  24. T.... D....

    This song fucking sucks

    T.... D....

    Tie Dye Manatee why are you listening to it then?

    T.... D....

    Tie Dye Manatee As if you could create anything better. Piss Off Troll

  25. L.... ....

    Wow. I love this song.

  26. A.... S....

    There's some crazy devilish cloud, moon or planetary 'something' that does NOT allow me to hear this at least 10 times/sitting...FUCK, I love this song. I feel like a crazy person...It makes me happy!!! Plus it's the last song I danced to with my Mother.

    A.... S....

    same with me ... this one really pulls me in ...

    A.... S....

    One of my favorite songs ever. Love it everytime I listen ....... If you're gonna go , remember me and all ---love these lyrics so much

    A.... S....

    Yep, always come back to this one! Just put it on loop then kick back for a continuous 'Round' after 'Round'.
    'It's a new break through, it's an old breakdown..." Ohooo ohoo great stuff!

    A.... S....

    Yep, same devilish thing!

  27. D.... S....

    love her voice

  28. D.... B....

    Magic song.

  29. A.... B....

    This video uploading occurred the same week when the young female Canadian folk singer, Taylor Mitchell was intending to perform her concerts all over Eastern Canada, but her career ended up going to the dogs (literally). Coyotes mauled her while she was hiking at Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia. Her death occurred the next day.

  30. A.... G....

    This song brings so many good memories. Back then I didn't know what it meant I just love listening to her voice and the beat. Now that I know more English I like this song even more. Thanks for the good memories

  31. F.... ....

    I found this song one day. So love it. Shame, it took so many years to hear it.

  32. R.... G....

    Very hot in this vid.

  33. G.... ....

    I am surprised she never scored a hit on the country charts. This is such a perfect blending of styles. One hit wonder is an insult for her.

    G.... ....

    I agree! I just found her as I cruised YouTube! Thx Youtube.

  34. J.... D....

    Here I go again loving this song

  35. A.... C....

    The video is so 90's ... Love it!

  36. b.... ....

    Mesmerizing!

    b.... ....

    @brookdalebill I can't just listen to this song once. it puts me in a trance and I have to sit and listen to it over and over again. Shawn is very easy on the eyes.

    b.... ....

    I'm with you...strange how that happens...

    b.... ....

    I totally agree, very beguiling tune, I have it saved on replay (see my comment below) and can listen over n' over!

  37. S.... D....

    The thumbnail for this video is so wrong on so many levels.  LOL...   

  38. A.... M....

    awesome song! and singer, not to mention (although it's not featured here) one hell of a guitar player. still sounds great, after all these years.

  39. M.... E....

    Love that 'groove' starting at 3:35 but wish it was longer? go here!

    this is a talented and beautiful woman.

    She resides in CT now, and we are glad to have her.


    Cheers!
    FrankC32

  52. c.... ....

    She was beautiful and talented. She probably still is in 2013!

    c.... ....

    crackerman3772! Yes, she is something of an inspiration, all right - and in 2018!

  53. M.... F....

    Shawn Colvin?...Another round of blues? Yes please!! Make mine a double!!!

  54. s.... ....

    The sheer beauty of this woman, in her younger days, was spellbinding!! She was a goddess like Venus!!

    s.... ....

    smeltriver09 she looked her best here . to think she pushed thru horrific bouts of depression to create the songs she did- what a beautiful warrior

  55. s.... ....

    Yeah, read it! Snookie apparently ran a bar somewhere in the southwest desert!

  56. S.... ....

    love this old tune.

  57. b.... ....

    OMGG I just noticed that the name of the Diner she's in is "Snookie's"

    b.... ....

    byobob CABS ARE HERE !!!

  58. r.... ....

    Simply great.

  59. R.... H....

    That is usually how it goes with Shawn's fans. You hear one of her songs and you are hooked for life. I heard the song "Steady On" off her first record by the same name back in 1989 and have been a loyal fan since.

    R.... H....

    Richard Hammond So true! Same here :-)

  60. R.... H....

    Shawn can still lay it down even with a broken G string! This one of my favorite songs of hers.

  61. R.... G....

    Great voice. Great video!

  62. S.... N....

    This was my first introduction to Shawn Colvin. I subscribed to a magazine (yes, paper). I don't remember the name, but I can do some research if you're interested. The magazine came with a VHS tape of videos. This was on one of them... and I was blown away.

  63. b.... ....

    her voice is as fucking beautiful as her lyrics! x33

  64. E.... A....

    Amazing song <3

  65. b.... ....

    Unforgettable song!

  66. C.... ....

    love it!

  67. J.... M....

    @VanityKillsABC Good ear! Joni actually played percussion on the song Object of My Affection on this album. She met Joni because Joni's husband at the time (Larry Klein) produced much of the album and played bass on it.

  68. c.... ....

    Pretty Woman, Miss Colvin is! Hats off to her.

  69. P.... ....

    wow so great

  70. m.... r....

    It's Mike Nagy!!!!

  71. k.... ....

    how come i've never heard of this woman until a few hours ago, but ever since then i've listened to about 6 of her songs and am now inspired to play guitar?

  72. F.... ....

    @terrybeaton You said it, I completely agree. You describe her perfectly.
    J.J

  73. F.... ....

    @terrybeaton You said it, I completely agree. You describe her perfectly.

  74. N.... ....

    this is my first time hearing this song, since i was only 5 or so when this came out. Its a great song, catchy and great lyrics! Is she still making music??

  75. e.... ....

    A chorus in your eyes , another "Round of Blues" ...... So Awesome !!!!

  76. r.... c....

    great song and she is such a talent. so why did she let them sex her up? she didnt need it. collagen lip injections? come on, Shawn!!

  77. a.... ....

    The beauty of youtube, discovering Shawn.
