Living With the Blues

Her sweet scent lingers in your room Perfumes the sultry Southern night While across the moon A whip-poor-will takes flight A long slow descent down into the depths Her last words echo in your ear The saddest song you know you'll ever hear When the world looks cold and distant When there's nothing left to lose Ah, that's how it feels Living with the blues The night sky shifts from black to blue The first unwelcome hint of dawn Another day, another day and she's still gone You can't just walk the streets But you can't go home Every word they said was true But it's too late now There's nothing you can do When the world looks cold and distant When there's nothing left to lose Ah, you learn how it feels Living with the blues Remember all those Sunday mornings Singing in the choir Remember all those languid evenings Wrapped up in desire Remember all those days Just her touch would set your skin on fire On fire When the world looks cold and distant When there's nothing left to lose Now you know how it feels Now you're living with the blues --- Living with the Blues - Southside Johnny
