The Blues Keep Coming

Lyrics: Bill Payne, Gabe Ford
Music: Bill Payne, Gabe Ford

One of the new songs on Little Feat's album Rooster Rag.

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�, hHelp 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
