WHEN THE BLUES COME IN FROM THE RAIN
(Jack Blanchard)

Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan - 1975




MISTY:
When the river's runnin' grey
On a dark and cloudy day
And the winds that bring October
Make the weeds and reeds and cattails sway
Thinkin’ my life over, I see your face again
When the blues come in from the rain

JACK:
When the leaves are coming down
On the sidewalks wet and brown
And the cars all have their lights on
As they make their way back home from town
Time may fade your picture, but it sure don't dull the pain
When the blues come in from the rain

BOTH:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sayin' I'm to blame
Just the same, I got an empty feelin’ inside.
Sometimes I'd like to break right down and call your name
But all that I got left now is my pride

When the blues come in from the rain
And your face appears
The tears are only raindrops on my window pane
Still, if I could live life over
I'd go back the way we came
When the blues come in from the rain

(Instrumental Break)

When the blues come in from the rain
And your face appears
The tears are only raindrops on my window pane
Still, if I could live life over
I'd go back the way we came
When the blues come in from the rain
When the blues come in from the rain
