Lingering Blues

Oh, the hurt runs deep, honey It's settled in my soul One day, I'll rise above it, darling Just like I know I'm strong and bold [Verse] 'Cause I'm done, done with the crying I'm through with your chain And I'm sick, sick of the lying Oh sweet freedom's sweet refrain I'll find my way, out from your shadow Gonna reclaim my heart and take control Now I'm walking away, with my head held high In a world where love's not bought and sold Oh, I'm tired, tired of your chains, honey Yes, I'm tired, tired of your chains Gonna walk out from your shadow Take back my heart, and break these pains I'm done, done with the crying I'm through with your chain And I'm sick, sick of the lying Oh sweet freedom's sweet refrain Now the blues, blues in the night, baby Hang around my door Echoes of our love that's fading Won't be trapped no more [Bridge] 'Cause I've cried, cried like the rainy sky Now I'm dry, done with your disguise Oh, I'm tired, tired of your chains, honey Yes, I'm tired, tired of your chains Gonna walk out from your shadow Take back my heart, and break these pains
