London Calling! the Musical - Russian Blues Lyrics
Music and Lyrics by Noël Coward.
I'm just a Russian Refugee,
There's nothing left in all the world for me,
But within my brain
I seem to hear those lovely melodies again
That made my Motherland what she used to be,
I'm weary and my heart is sore
For, even though I do return once more,
Skies are overcast
And I'll have nothing but my memories of the past
To make me weep for days that have gone before.
(Refrain:)
All day long I've got those Russian Blues,
The blues I'll never lose
Until I die.
For while I'm sleeping,
The lovely melodies come creeping,
Just to remind me of days gone by.
Fairy tales
That I learnt at my mother's knee,
And the echo of nightingales
In a magical tree.
Then I find I'm waking with a sigh,
That's the reason why
I've got those Russian Blues.
(Patter:)
Bowled over, bowled over,
Morning noon and night
I'm simply longing for the sight
Of dear old Petrograd and Moscow gay
And the jolly little tinkle of a bell upon a sleigh!
The Northern lights gleaming,
Samovars steaming,
Maybe I'll return some day.
It may be hysteria
But even if it means Siberia
Start your locomotive, rock your little boat,
I shall feel so happy when I know that I'm afloat,
I've been too long away.
