[Verse]
The sun's been setting, casting shadows wide,
A lonesome wind whispers, nowhere to hide.
The river hums low, with secrets it keeps,
The blues on the breeze, they cut and they seep.
[Chorus]
Oh, the blues on the breeze, they call my name,
A haunting refrain, never quite the same.
They tell of heartache, and dreams that won't stay,
Oh, the blues on the breeze, they won't drift away.
[Verse 2]
The bottle's half-empty, or maybe it's full,
Each sip tastes of sorrow, bitter and cruel.
The stars, they won't shine, the moon's gone to bed,
But the blues on the breeze play loud in my head.
[Prechorus]
The melody’s aching, it twists and it turns,
In the cold of the night, my soul, it burns.
[Chorus]
Oh, the blues on the breeze, they call my name,
A haunting refrain, never quite the same.
They tell of heartache, and dreams that won't stay,
Oh, the blues on the breeze, they won't drift away.
[Bridge]
The train's whistle cries, like a lover's goodbye,
The echoes of pain, they kiss the sky.
Every chord’s a tear, every note’s a sigh,
Oh, the blues, they linger, no matter how I try.
