Rhythm of the Blues - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 a while

But till 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

In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues

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

I don’t want to hear another word spoken

Don’t want to hear

I don’t want to see another tear shed

Don’t want to see

I can’t seem to fix what’s broken

Like this record, baby, 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 pretence 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
