When the river's running gray on a dark and cloudy day And the winds that bring October Make the reeds and weeds and cattails sway Thinking my life over, I see your face again When the blues come in from the rain When the leaves are coming down on the sidewalks wet and brown And the cars all have their lights on As they make their way back home from town Time may fade your picture, but it sure don't dull the pain When the blues come in from the rain
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sayin' I'm to blame Just the same, I've got an empty feeling inside Sometimes I'd like to break right down and call your name But all that I've got left now is my pride
When the blues come in from the rain And your face appears, the tears are only Raindrops on my window pane Still, if I could live life over, I'd go back the way we came When the blues come in from the rain
When the blues come in from the rain And your face appears, the tears are only Raindrops on my window pane Still, if I could live life over, I'd go back the way we came When the blues come in from the rain When the blues come in from the rain
