Sittin' by the window, waitin' for the dawn   Waitin' for a girl, a long time gone   Long time gone is a lonesome sound      Long time blues is a hard way down      Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain   Down by the depot waitin' for the train   Long time gone is the evening train      Long time blues is an achin' pain   Long time blues is an achin' pain      Listen to the sparrow singin' their song   Listen for a voice a long time gone   Long time gone is a silent song      Long time blues keep comin' on      Sittin' by the window, waitin' for the dawn   Waitin' for a girl, a long time gone   Long time gone is a lonesome sound      Long time blues is a hard way down   Long time blues is a hard way down
