When the river's running gray on a dark and cloudy day
And the winds that bring October
Make the reeds and weeds and cattails sway
Thinking my life over, I see your face again
When the blues come in from the rain
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

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sayin' I'm to blame
Just the same, I've got an empty feeling inside
Sometimes I'd like to break right down and call your name
But all that I've 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

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
