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
