Hello Blues, come on in, I've been expecting you
I've watched until my eyes are red, thinking maybe you'd be here
I've listened until my ears are numb for a voice I'll never hear
I sit beside the telephone with a heart that's broken too
Hello Blues, come on in, I've been expecting you
I know whenever a day is done, an evening's shadows fall
I'll be watching for you to come, listening for your call
Knock outside, my door will start, your heart aches anew
Hello Blues, come on in, I've been expecting you
There'll be nobody coming round to knock upon my door
The blues are all that I have left for company anymore
He's always here by ten o'clock on Lonesome Avenue
Hello Blues, come on in, I've been expecting you
Hello Blues, come on in, I've been expecting you
I know whenever a day is done, an evening's shadows fall
I'll be watching for you to come, listening for your call
Knock outside, my door will start, your heart aches anew
Hello Blues, come on in, I've been expecting you
I know whenever a day is done
And even shadows fall
I'll be watching there for you to come
Listening for your call
Knock outside, my door will start
The old heart aches anew
Hello blues, come on in
I've been expecting you
Hello blues, come on in
I've been expecting you
