The Blues Come Over Me
by 
Will Jennings 
Joe Sample 
recording of 1992 
from 
There Is Always One More Time (MCA MCAD-10295) 
My baby gives me love 
As good as love can be 
I just leave her crying 
When the blues come over me 
Up on a mountain 
I'm drowning in the sea 
All the clocks say midnight 
When the blues come over me 
The blues come over me 
I pack it up and go 
The blues come over me 
I catch the wind and blow 
And some will take the wine 
And some will take the night 
When everything's all wrong 
Then anything is all right 
Some put in a song 
And some sing it for their dues 
Some go to sleep and wake up 
Tangled in the blues 
The blues come over me 
I pack it up and go 
The blues come over me 
I catch the wind and blow 
The blues come in a whisper 
And make you scream and shout 
And you'll do most anything 
Just to let them out 
I may think I'm happy 
I may think I'm free 
Nothing don't mean nothing 
When the blues come over me 
The blues come up behind 
The blues wait up ahead 
The blues ask why you are born 
If you just end up dead 
The blues, talking about the blues 
The blues, oh the blues, the blues 
Talking about the blues 
When the blues come over me 
Talking about the blues 
I have to go away 
The blues, the blues 
When the blues come over me 
I have to pack it up and go
