chained to the blues

Nikka Costa

The sun turned from my window
And let the blues come in
Now I've got pain and sorrow
To talk to again about my
Case of the missing you's
The used to be's and
The lonlies, too,
Keeping my heart chained to the blues

Old yesterday's dropped by
With the wishes you were here's
Sure made good times fly
'Til they disappeared
Leaving me with the miseries
The lost without you's and
The why did you leaves
Keeping my heart chained to the blues

Oh, my, the way he said goodbye
Just laughing at me crying
In my sorrow
Oh, me, these painful memories
Torture me like there's
No tomorrow, when

My heart will be breaking
Right along with the dawn
Each part of me achin
Just knowing he's gone and
Left me with the stark raving mad's
The I should've done's and
The wish that I had's
Keeping my heart chained to the blues
Keeping my heart chained to the blues
Keeping my heart chained to the blues.
