I wake in the morning The clouds are gray But you ain't next to me And what can I say? My will to rise didn't synch with the sun These solo blues keep dragging me down Oh, cause it seems like forever Ain't coming around Ain't coming around So I stumble to my feet To start lonesomely But you ain't next to me Then what can I say? A hopeful fear, oh, runs me away How will I get through this day? Oh, cause it seems like forever Ain't coming around Ain't coming around Cause I've been down Been down for so long Oh, and darling It is hard to stay strong I've been down Been down for so long And it's hard to stay strong And I go through my day Filling up my time But you ain't next to me And what can I say? Another lonely night has begun These solo blues always rise with the sun Oh, cause it seems like forever Ain't coming around Oh, cause it seems like forever Ain't coming around Ain't coming around Ain't coming around
