The Chordettes - Basin Street Blues lyrics

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders There's a truck out on the four-lane, a mile or more away The whining of his wheels just makes it colder He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road are barely gone There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm Hey it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Hey it's good to be back home again After all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time And what's the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday, "Sunshine" made her cry And you felt the baby move just yesterday And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down Feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way The happiness that livin' with you brings me It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you The little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove And the light in your eyes that makes me warm
