Evening Blues Lyrics - Blackjack David - Dave Alvin

Standin barefoot in your kitchen door 

Listenin to the soft evenin rain 

Watchin you dryin off from your shower 

You look at me like you dont know my name 

Then you heat the coffee on the stove 

Pull the cup down from the shelf 

And slowly turn your back on me 

As I sing a blues song to myself 

Yeah, I wish that I could hold you, baby 

But you seem so far away 

Yeah, I wish that I could kiss you, baby 

But Ive run out of sweet words to say 

And I wish that I could hear 

Yeah, I wish that I could hear 

The blues you sing to yourself 

Now all the makeup is washed off your face 

And your hair is slicked back wet 

You hung the dress up you wore last night 

And changed the sheets on your bed 

All the promises you whispered to me 

I guess theyre meant for someone else 

'Cause all I hear is the soft evenin rain 

And the blues that I sing to myself 

Yeah, I wish that I could hold you, baby 

But you seem so far away 

Yeah, I wish that I could kiss you, baby 

But Ive run out of sweet words to say 

And I wish that I could hear 

Oh, I wish that I could hear 

The blues you sing to yourself 

The blues you sing to yourself 

Now would you care if I walked out this door 

Baby, I cant really tell 

Our eyes meet but we just look away 

And sing our blues to ourselves 

Yeah, I wish that could hold you, baby 

But you seem so far away 

Yeah, I wish that I could kiss you, baby 

But Ive run out of sweet words to say 

And I wish that I could hear 

Yeah I wish that I could hear 

The blues you sing 

The blues, the blues you sing to yourself
