Blue Jay Way

The Beatles

There's a fog upon L.A.

And my friends have lost their way

We'll be over soon they said

Now they've lost themselves instead

Please don't be long

Please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or I may be asleep

Well it only goes to show

And I told them where to go

Ask a policeman on the street

There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long (don't be long)

Please don't you be very long (don't be long)

Please don't be long or I may be asleep

Now it's past my bed I know (know)

And I'd really like to go (go)

Soon will be the break of day (day)

Sitting here in Blue Jay Way (way)

Please don't be long (don't be long)

Please don't you be very long (don't be long)

Please don't be long or I may be asleep

Please don't be long

Please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long

Please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long

Please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long, don't be long

Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long

About this Song

Blue Jay Way by The Beatles is a song created by George Harrison, written during a wait for a friend in a house on Blue Jay Way in Los Angeles. The lyrics convey a sense of disorientation and anticipation, as Harrison describes his experience of waiting in foggy weather and the repetitive nature of checking the time. Key themes include waiting, confusion, and the surreal feeling induced by jet lag and fatigue. The use of repetitive lines such as 'Don't be long' underscores the feeling of endless waiting. This song reflects Harrison's experimental phase and incorporates Indian musical influences.
