Lyrics
Woke up this mornin', sun don't shine no more, Heart heavy as a stone, knockin' at my door. She left me in the dust, with nothin' but the wind, Whispers of her laughter, echo where I've been.
Oh, the blues come callin', deep into the night, Tears like river waters, flowin' out of sight. Lost my sweet darlin', can't find my way back home, In this empty silence, I'm wanderin' alone.
Guitar strings are weepin', harmonica's cry, Memories keep pullin' me, under stormy sky. Promised me forever, then she turned away, Now I'm chasin' shadows, in the light of day.
Oh, the blues come callin', deep into the night, Tears like river waters, flowin' out of sight. Lost my sweet darlin', can't find my way back home, In this empty silence, I'm wanderin' alone.
Maybe someday the pain will fade like morning mist, Find a spark of fire, in this clenched-up fist. But tonight I'm broken, bendin' notes so low, Singin' to the darkness, lettin' sorrow go.
Road keeps on windin', through the ache inside, Searchin' for redemption, where the lost ones hide. Her touch was like sunlight, now it's cold and gone, But I'll keep on strummin', till the break of dawn.
Oh, the blues come callin', deep into the night, Tears like river waters, flowin' out of sight. Lost my sweet darlin', can't find my way back home, In this empty silence... oh, I'm wanderin' alone.
