The Blues Keep Coming

The snows are melting, the river’s on the rise

I’m looking for shelter, there’s not a place to hide

The wind is whipping like I never seen before

Bearing down like a freight train just outside my door

The blues keep coming, I can’t stop them anymore

The blues keep coming, I can’t stop them anymore

Cut loose and set adrift, a million miles of dust

On deserted roads and rusted skied, years of fading hope and trust

A thousand shouting voices now a distant roar

I’m left here in this darkness these many miles from shore

The blues keep coming, I can’t stop them anymore

The blues keep coming, I can’t stop them anymore

In my dreams it’s a long long way to heaven

I see an angel floating in the sky

In my prayers when it’s two shades south of midnight

Give me wings that I might fly

A telling lie with unforgiving days

And if I threw the dice I would’ve lost them anyway

Now I need that angel to hold me tight

Give me some lovin’, help me make it through just one more night

The blues keep coming, I can’t stop them anymore

The blues keep coming, I can’t stop them anymore
