(Slow, weeping electric guitar lick)
(Soft Hammond swell)
Chimelozona, I see the shadow in your eyes
Beneath the sales floor lights, beneath the city skies
I know a few months back, a heavy rain came down
And washed the color from this dusty town
You carry grace in every word you say
Trying to chase those lonely ghosts away
But honesty is written on your face
Even when the heart is out of place
Oh, Blessing, let the blues just roll on by
You don't have to keep your spirit dry
The world is turning, even when it’s slow
There’s a healing rhythm only you can know
Yeah, the sun is waiting just behind the clouds
Loud enough to drown the heartache out
I’ve watched you walk through fire with a steady hand
Closing deals like shifting desert sand
But behind the numbers, behind the gentle smile
You’ve been running for a long, long mile
That heart of yours, it’s worth a pot of gold
Don't let the story leave you feeling cold
You’re more than broken promises and pain
You’re the flower blooming after heavy rain
Oh, Blessing, let the blues just roll on by
You don't have to keep your spirit dry
The world is turning, even when it’s slow
There’s a healing rhythm only you can know
Yeah, the sun is waiting just behind the clouds
Loud enough to drown the heartache out
Time is a healer, slow and deep
In the quiet moments before you sleep
Forget the liar who cast a stone
You’re a queen, you’re never truly on your own
Just take it easy, take it one day at a time
Everything is gonna find its perfect rhyme
So keep on shining, keep that honest soul
Even when the pieces don't feel whole
You’re doing fine, you’re doing better than you know
Watching the steady embers start to glow
We’re all just travelers on this bluesy track
And you’ve got the strength to never look back
Oh, Blessing, let the blues just roll on by
You don't have to keep your spirit dry
The world is turning, even when it’s slow
There’s a healing rhythm only you can know
Yeah, the sun is waiting just behind the clouds
Loud enough to drown the heartache out
Yeah, let it roll, Blessing J.M.D cares
Heartache’s just a song, let it fade away
(Guitar solo, slow and melancholic)
Just a song…
Blue skies waiting…
(Fade out with Hammond organ)
