The snows are melting, the river's on the rise
I'm looking for shelter, there's not a place to hide
The wind is whipping like I never seen before
Bearing down like a freight train just outside my door
The blues keep coming, I can't stop them anymore
The blues keep coming, I can't stop them anymore
Cut loose and set adrift, a million miles of dust
On deserted roads and rusted skied, years of fading hope and trust
A thousand shouting voices now a distant roar
I'm left here in this darkness these many miles from shore
The blues keep coming, I can't stop them anymore
The blues keep coming, I can't stop them anymore
In my dreams it's a long long way to heaven
I see an angel floating in the sky
In my prayers when it's two shades south of midnight
Give me wings that I might fly
A telling lie with unforgiving days
And if I threw the dice I would've lost them anyway
Now I need that angel to hold me tight
Give me some lovin', help me make it through just one more night
The blues keep coming, I can't stop them anymore
The blues keep coming, I can't stop them anymore
