The Blues, hangs in the shadows

From there, he stalks his prey;

He waits til you're unwary,

Then trouble's sent your way.



Somewhere, someone is hurting;

Somewhere, they cry alone;

When Blues descends upon you,

Your spirit's overthrown.



Pull your lover closer,

To keep them through this night.

By taking such comfort from you,

The Blues finds much delight.



Somewhere, someone is lied to,

Somewhere they are deceived.

Someone will lose their lover,

Blues laughing while they grieve.



All you merry people

Lift your glasses high.

The blues is out there waiting;

To take you, by surprise.



The Blues, hangs in the shadows

From there, he stalks his prey;

He waits til you're unwary,

Then trouble's sent your way
