Lyrics

[short Instrumental guitar riff] [Verse 1] In the heart of the Delta, 'neath the weeping willow's shade, We found love in the sultry summer, in the promises we made. Your laughter was my melody, for your eyes my heart swayed, But now I'm singing solo in the shadows of the Mississippi today. [Chorus/Refrain] Oh, the blues got my heart on a string, Tangled up in memories, and the pain they bring. Love's a leaving letter, love's a closing door, Left me here with nothing, but the blues, Oh Lord... [Verse 2] As the seasons turned, so did your heart, away from mine, Like the Mississippi's course, it changed with time. Now in every chord I strum, "oh sweet Jesus!" hear what I've lost, A love that once blossomed, now covered in moss. [Chorus/Refrain] Oh, the blues got my heart on a string, Tangled up in memories, and the pain they bring. Love's a leaving letter, love's a closing door, Left me here with nothing, but the blues, oh Lord... [Bridge] Maybe love's just a river, meant to flow away, Leaving us wiser, come what may. In the heartache, there's a lesson, in the sorrow, there's a song, Teaching us where we belong. [Verse 3/Outro] So I'll carry this tune, as I walk alone, A soul set adrift, a heart turned to stone. In every blue note, there's a trace of your light, Burning my skin and cutting like a knife.
