Carpenter Mary-chapin Rhythm Of The Blues Lyrics

Rhythm Of The Blues Lyrics

I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heart

 I can see you with both eyes closed in the dark

 Sleep will come in just awhile but 'til it does I choose

 To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues

 I walk along these streets of home that once belonged to us

 And now, baby, I walk alone and I am lost

 I guess I'm only walking to the rhythm of the blues

 

 I don't want to hear another word spoken

 I don't want to see another tear shed

 I can't seem to fix what's broken

 Like this record player in my head

 

 Lonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on you

 And still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the blues

 I want a place to call my own where you have never been

 I want to look around and know you won't be coming back again

 

 On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through

 You come and go, baby, like the rhythm of the blues

 You come and go, baby, like the rhythm of the blues

 You come and go, baby, like the rhythm of the blues
