Someday Blues Lyrics

Mister, how long will this thing last?
How long until this ache has passed?
You're gone and yet you haunt me still
I walk in shadows you still cast
I still can't think of you without the blues

Phone calls still cause my heart to race
My eyes scan every passing face
I wait each night for sleep to come
Lying beside an empty space
Sleep comes at last but still I have the blues

I wake, reach out to stroke your hair
My hand caresses only air
Someday I know I'll try no more
My heart may tell me I still care
But that day I'll start to say goodbye to blues

Someday when lingering dreams move on
Someday when every ghost is gone
And when it's not so hard to smile
I'll wake to greet a carefree dawn
Someday I'll think of you without the blues
