Robben Ford Discussion

I watch the streets outside my window
I wait but I know you'll never come
The world goes passing by,
People laugh and babies cry,
Never knew I had so much to lose.

Introduced me to a new companion
When you left me standing in the rain
Anyone looking would've watched me go
Walking hand in hand with the blues,
Hand in hand with the blues.

I watch the streets outside my window
I wait but I know you'll never come
Night falls and I draw the blinds
the wounded live guitar that I find
I can't make myself to face the truth

I am the King of the brokenhearted
Someone to share my pain
Anyone looking would've watched me go
Walking hand in hand with the blues,
Hand in hand with the blues.

The empty hours they move so slowly
Cold sorrow sinks into my bones
Night seems to never ends,
Poured drinks from a newfound friend
Trying to drawn the pain of losing you.

We're gonna go down that road together
And I'll never see you again
Anyone looking would've watched me go
Walking hand in hand with the blues,
Hand in hand with the blues.
Hand in hand with the blues.
Hand in hand with the blues.

Solo - Fade out

Did I get'em right?

Can somebody check'em?

Pretty please...?

Couple really quick...

After "Night falls and I draw the blinds" it's

"The will to live gets harder to find"

and it's probably just a spelling error but it's

"trying to drown the pain", not "drawn the pain".

I took a closer listen and here's what I hear. I agree with Ian's lyrics and I've copied them and added a couple more. Your original lines are in parenthesis, mine are underneath those.

(Introduced me to a new companion)
You introduced me to a new companion

(the wounded live guitar that I find)
The will to live gets harder to find

(I can't make myself to face the truth)
I can't bring myself to face the truth

(I am the King of the brokenhearted)
Enter the king of broken hearted

(Night seems to never ends)
Night seems to never end

(Poured drinks from a newfound friend)
Pour a drink from our new found friend

(Trying to drawn the pain of losing you)
Try to drown the pain of losing you
