Lyrics

[Intro]
Deep down in my heart, where the shadows play,
The night's got me aching, and the blues won’t stay away.

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, rain tapping on my door,
Thought about the sunshine, but I don't feel it anymore.
With my old guitar resting on my knee,
Each string whispers secrets, oh won't you listen to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Got a weight on my soul, it’s hard to shake loose,
Like a broken record spinning, can’t find the right groove.

[Chorus]
I’m in the mood for the blues, my heart’s singing low,
Like a wandering train, I’ve got nowhere to go.
In the mood for the blues, feels like my spirit’s confined,
But I'll find a way out, leave these shadows behind.

[Verse 2]
Met a stranger on the corner, he said, “You feeling fine?”
I looked him in the eye, said, “Man, I’m out of time.”
He laughed and took a drag, passed that smoke to me,
In the cool night air drowning in sweet melancholy.

[Bridge]
Let that organ take me, you know it knows the way,
Winding through the sorrow, like a river it’ll play,
Every note’s a heartbeat, every chord’s a sigh,
Underneath the urban sky, I let my troubles fly.

[Chorus]
I’m in the mood for the blues, my heart’s singing low,
Like a wandering train, I’ve got nowhere to go.
In the mood for the blues, feels like my spirit’s confined,
But I'll find a way out, leave these shadows behind.

[Verse 3]
And when the sun starts rising, chasing shadows away,
I’ll gather up my memories, let them dance in the day.
With my guitar slung over, I’ll walk that lonesome line,
Singing out the blues, knowing it’ll be just fine.

[Outro]
In the mood for the blues, I’ll carry them along,
With a heart full of stories, I’ll keep singing my song.
