'Cool as Greta Garbo' an original smooth blues song by John Haydock.

Written, performed and produced by John Haydock.
(That means I wrote it all folks and I played all the instruments, guitar, bass, keyboards etc and sang. I also produced the track.)

Available on the my new album 'Reckless Burning'

  / reckless-burning  

Bit of a story song this one. Smooth yacht rock blues (is there such a thing?). Anyways, enjoy.

Bit of a Tony Joe White feel to this one I think.

LYRICS:
Another rainy night
In this cold town
The darkness starts to burn

The late night cabs
Are taking calls
From anyone at all

She steps up to the window
The city lights below
She's talking to the shadows
As she glides across the floor

Tonight she's as cool as Greta Garbo
With just a touch of Marilyn Monroe
She'll tell you everything she knows
When the darkness comes to call

And you go running around
running around with her
She's running around
Running around with you

The city's heart
Is beating fast
Into the urban sprawl

The traffic's slow
On highway five
The cars can only crawl

She moves back from the window
Silhouette in half moonlight
Outside the wind is howling
Around the neon signs

Tonight she's as cool as Greta Garbo
With just a touch of Marilyn Monroe
She'll show you where her secrets go
When you turn out the lights

And you go running around
Running around with her
You go running around with her
And you go running around
Running around with her

The roads are going nowhere
There's no place left to go
You hold on to the promise
Of things you need to know

And you go running around
running around with her
And she goes running around
Running around with you....
