Gaining on Me - Tom Paxton

Raining, it’s raining

The old blues are gaining

The old blues are gaining on me

Shadows, the shadows

Come in through my windows

And make things so black l can’t see

Somebody told me

It’s not strange at all

To feel like you’re crying

When rain starts to fall

And it’s raining, it’s raining

The old blues are gaining

The old blues are gaining on me

Raining, keep raining

I know when it’s raining

I don’t need explaining to see

My baby, my lover

Losing my lover

It’s raining and she’s leaving me

The blues can get to you

In so many ways

And lately I’m crying

On the sunniest days

And it’s raining, it’s raining

The old blues are gaining

The old blues are gaining on me

Oh, the blues can get to you

In so many ways

And lately I’m crying

On the sunniest days

And it’s raining, it’s raining

The old blues are gaining

The old blues are gaining on me

Gaining on me
