I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heartI can see you with both eyes closed in the darkSleep will come in just awhile but 'til it does I chooseTo listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the bluesI walk along these streets of home that once belonged to usAnd now, baby, I walk alone and I am lostI guess I'm only walking to the rhythm of the bluesI don't want to hear another word spokenI don't want to see another tear shedI can't seem to fix what's brokenLike this record player in my headLonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on youAnd still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the bluesI want a place to call my own where you have never beenI want to look around and know you won't be coming back againOn some pretense paper-thin that I can see right throughYou come and go, baby, like the rhythm of the bluesYou come and go, baby, like the rhythm of the bluesYou come and go, baby, like the rhythm of the blues
