Something Like the Blues

Darkness, come around me

Wrap me tight

Don't let nobody see me alone tonight

Thinking about you, wishing I could disappear

Feeling something lonesome, like a blues

Standing by street lights with no one around me

Searching for the man I was before you came and found me

Try not to hope you'll come and tiptoe to my ear

And whisper something secret, like the blues

When I look at you you set me singing warm as summer islands

All at once, you shame me into silence

I learned my lesson

Must you keep me guessing in the dark?

Why don't you come back to me

Thinking about you, wishing I could disappear.

This feeling lingers on in me like the blues

Won't you come and hold me like the blues
