Lyrics:
I watched the sun come up today
The wind swept all the clouds away
The sky did turn from grey to blue
As my thoughts did turn to you
The birds sang songs we used to sing
Memories of you to bring
Soft and sweet and clear and high
The day is slowly passing by
Tonight I'll be alone and blue
With empty arms that long for you
I only hear the lonesome sound
Since you left our little town
I don't know why you went away
And nothing's all you had to say
Not a word comes through here about you
And soon my heart will break in two
Another night alone and blue
With empty arms that long for you
I only hear the lonesome sound
Since you left our little town
Since you left our little town
About the album:
“Live at the Austin Outhouse” captures Blaze Foley at his final appearance at the iconic venue in late 1989. Four weeks after making the Outhouse recordings with a borrowed guitar; Blaze was shot and killed defending a friend. He was 39 years old.
Part of Austin's outlaw music scene in the '80s, Blaze was virtually unknown beyond his local circle. After his death, his following grew and his songs were recorded by the likes of John Prine, Lucinda Williams, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.
Even in a city of non-conformists, Blaze stood out. He often didn't have a permanent place to live. Instead, he slept on friends' couches or on the pool tables of the few clubs that welcomed him. The Austin Outhouse was his surrogate home.
At the end of a career littered with busted record companies, stolen tapes, lost masters and limited pressings, Blaze made one last recording at the Outhouse. This is it.
