Carpenter Mary-Chapin - 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
