Rhythm of the Blues

[Verse 1] 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 'til it does I choose To listen to the rain It's the rhythm of the blues [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] Lonely looks as bad on me As lonely looks on you And still we keep on moving To the rhythm of the blues [Verse 4] 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
