After Mardi Gras lyrics

See that shadow on the wall Doesn’t look like me at all Head hung down Intentions meltin’ on the ground Saddest shape I ever saw There’s so much I need to do Before I get over you But I can’t bother with it all Until after Mardi Gras All that music in the air Happy people everywhere Make it hard to sing the blues Until Mardi Gras is through Put my loneliness away Save it for a rainy day Delay the pain Nothin’ ventured nothin’ gained The time’ll come but that’s okay
