Blue Prelude
Journey Through Melancholy: Hoyt Axton's Blue Prelude
Lyrics
Oh let me sigh
Expressing a desire to sigh in a state of emotional distress.
Yeah let me cry, when I'm blue
Desiring the freedom to cry, particularly when feeling sad or down.
Let me go away from this lonesome town
Expressing a wish to leave a lonely town, suggesting a desire for a change or escape.
It won't be long till my song will be through
Anticipating the end of a personal song or journey, implying a forthcoming resolution.
Because I know I'm on my last go round
Acknowledging a realization that one is facing the final moments or opportunities.
All the love I couldn't steal
Reflecting on missed opportunities in love, possibly due to an inability to connect deeply.
Mmm

Beg or borrow
Recognizing that begging or borrowing cannot alleviate the soul's pain.
Would not ease all of this pain in my soul
Expressing the depth of emotional pain that cannot be eased by desperate measures.
For what is love but a prelude to sorrow
Anticipating heartbreak as a destination, portraying love as a journey with an inevitable painful outcome.
With a heartbreak ahead for a goal here I go
Expressing determination to pursue a goal despite the foreseen heartbreak.
Don't you know why I'm leaving
Posing a rhetorical question, questioning if the listener understands the reason for departure.
I got the blues what can I lose?
Stating the presence of blues and the acceptance of impending loss.
Mmm
(No specific information provided in this line.)
Goodbye
Bidding farewell, signifying the end of a chapter or relationship.
