Dave Alvin - Evening Blues Lyrics
Dave Alvin(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music)Standin' barefoot in your kitchen doorListenin' to the soft evenin' rainWatchin' you dryin' off from your showerYou look at me like you don't know my nameThen you heat the coffee on the stovePull the cup down from the shelfAnd slowly turn your back on meAs I sing a blues song to myself.Yeah I wish that I could hold you babyBut you seem so far awayYeah I wish that I could kiss you babyBut I've run out of sweet words to sayAnd I wish that I could hearYeah I wish that I could hearThe blues you sing to yourself.Now all the makeup is washed off your faceAnd your hair is slicked back wetYou hung the dress up you wore last nightAnd changed the sheets on your bedAll the promises you whispered to meI guess they're meant for someone elseCause all I hear is the soft evenin' rainAnd the blues that I sing to myself.Yeah I wish that I could hold you babyBut you seem so far awayYeah I wish that I could kiss you babyBut I've run out of sweet words to sayAnd I wish that I could hearOh I wish that I could hearThe blues you sing to yourselfThe blues you sing to yourself.Now would you care if I walked out this doorBaby I can't really tellOur eyes meet but we just look awayAnd sing our blues to ourselves.Yeah I wish that could hold you babyBut you seem so far awayYeah I wish that I could kiss you babyBut I've run out of sweet words to sayAnd I wish that I could hearYeah I wish that I could hearThe blues you singThe bluesThe blues you sing to yourself.
