Mary Chapin Carpenter - Rhythm Of The Blues Lyrics
I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heart
I can see with both eyes closed in the dark
Sleep will come in just a while but till it does I choose
To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues
And now baby I walk alone and I am lost
In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues
I guess I'm only walking to rhythm of the blues
I don't wanna hear another word spoken, I don't wanna see another tear shed
I can't seem to fix what's broken, like this record baby in my head
Lonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on you
And still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the blues
I wanna look around and know you won't be coming back again
On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues...

Love this song and MCC’ s voice so much 💕
If you don’t hurt when you hear this no one ever broke up with you.
I think this is actually a Roseanne Cash composition. But MCC is great, and this was her magnum opus.
MCC composition-what a wonderful song.
I had this cd when it first came out & this has always been my favorite of hers. So beautiful.
This album amazing and never got old to me when had. I'm like a happy teenager again listening to this.
I was given as sort of a hand me down a mixtape, yep mixTAPE a cassette as I collect those, that had this song on it
Without a doubt my all-time favorite Mary Chapin Carpenter song (and she did many really good ones). Makes a great instrumental too!
Never gets old.
Sounds of soul searching.... I want a place to call my own... That you have been...
"where you have never been"
A gorgeous song with words that anyone can relate to. What a great songwriter MCC is !.
I especially love this song and also Late for Your Life.
It ´s deeply poetic . Lovely song from à great artist
I bought a CD at a garage sale, Mary Chapin Carpenter. From the moment I heard this song, I was in Love, with her, her music, her poetry. She is absolutely brillant.
This was the song that made me Chapin's fan forever. I so deeply empathize with her lyrics. I'm disappointed that she still does not have mainstream success, but I am glad she had success with the general public at all. I am so thankful that Nashville thought highly enough of her to elect her to the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame. So richly deserved.
Ever listen to Carlene Carters rendition of Unbreakable Heart? you might want to get out your pen and list ...
Used to go see her at the twist and shout in Bethesda Md before she made it big, what a treat that was, she deserves all her fame as one of Americas premier songwriters, it was songs like this that were the key for that, Her guitar work along with John Jennings were as good as it can be, Hats off for the hometown girl..,
I am moved... Deeply moved. Wow!
Come On Come On (1992) is Mary Chapin Carpenter's magnum opus!
I want a place to call me own... How many times have we thought about it but never dared to utter the words. I can't seem to fix whats broken like this record playing in my head. She has poured her very core into this. I am almost embarrassed for her Like standing Naked in front of a stranger< Thank- you Mary you are a "Poetic Champion" Indeed~Kathleen,Your #1 fan.
Kathleen Hendrickson I love the way you put that. I look for what others feel about the lyrics, you are the first I've seen to point out the lyrics and comment on them. thank you!
this is simpley the greatist poem.song ever...love it!
The genius in in every spec of this song, pure poetry!
Awesome :)))
I carry a small slip of paper that I have used to accumulate my own personal list of the 10 best songs ever written. I do not put entries on the list lightly, so there are so far only 4 entries on it. This is one of them.
She's the REAL deal!!! Her talent just oozes from her pores.
THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY POSTED THIS!!!!!
This is one of my most favorite songs I have ever heard. Being from Oregon rain and lost loves seemed to be the pattern of my life... This song is my heart...
Love this song-had been looking for it on YT for over a year. Thanks for posting
