Abbey Lincoln - Blue Monk 2007 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Going alone
Life is your own
But the cost sometimes is dear
Being complete
Knowing defeat
Keeping on from year to year
It takes some doing
Monkery's the blues you hear
Keeping on from year to year

[Verse 2]
Life is a school
Less you're a fool
But the learning brings you pain
Knowing at once
You're just a dunce
Trial and error, loss and gain
It takes some doing
Monkery's a slow, slow train
Trial and error, loss and gain

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Finding your one
Place in the sun
Doesn't come the easy way
Shallow ain't deep
Nothing is cheap
Mеasure by the dues you pay
It takеs some doing
Monkery's a blue highway
Measure by the dues you pay
[Verse 4]
Oh
Oh
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Oh
It takes some doing
Monkery's the blues you hear
Keeping on from year to year

[Outro]
Keeping on from year to year
