Sittin' by the window, waitin' for the dawn Waitin' for a girl, a long time gone Long time gone is a lonesome sound Long time blues is a hard way down Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain Down by the depot waitin' for the train Long time gone is the evening train Long time blues is an achin' pain Long time blues is an achin' pain
Listen to the sparrow singin' their song Listen for a voice a long time gone Long time gone is a silent song Long time blues keep comin' on Sittin' by the window, waitin' for the dawn Waitin' for a girl, a long time gone Long time gone is a lonesome sound Long time blues is a hard way down Long time blues is a hard way down
