Blue Light (Unplugged)

Although I've hardened
Darling, my guard is down
When I know you're around
Only one that fit the crown

When I need love I run to you
You're the only one I want, want you now
Silly shit we go through
I cop my keys and I'm out

I'm on my way right now
Promise I won't be long
Baby, keep the blue light on
Chains, they come falling down, down
Chains, they come falling down
I think I'm falling down
I think I'm falling
You got me turned around

I'm begging your pardon
Told myself I needed time
But my discipline is slipping
Head first

'Cause with your love around
I could save the world
For better now
I want you where you are right now

I'm on my way right now
Promise I won't be long
Baby, keep the blue light on
Chains, they come falling down
Chains, they come falling down
I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling

Thank you
I really appreciate y'all being here tonight to witness this
And I, you know my ancestors suffered in a different way
But I do want to express my reverence for the suffering that happened here
In order for this music to happen
And it's very important that we, that at least I
Make sure everybody brings that into the forefront of their mind
Okay
Yesterday was Joni day
And today I'm paying homage to one of my favorite musicians
Singers, writers, Betty Carter, the legend
If you don't know, please go and check her out
So much of the sort of vulnerability in my lyricism
The way that I want to take my time
With the sort of unfolding
Is very much a Betty moment
So, yeah, this is one of my favorite songs she ever wrote
And I think it's really timely actually
