Lyrics

WELL THERE'VE BEEN GOOD DAYS
AND THERE'VE BEEN BAD
SOME WERE THE BEST I THOUGHT A MAN COULD HAVE
BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHAT I'VE SEEN
IN THE BASEMENT OF THE BLUES

WELL I'VE BEEN NEAR
AND I'VE GONE FAR
I FOUND OUT WHO MY FRIENDS REALLY ARE
AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE I'VE BEEN
I'VE BEEN TO THE BASEMENT OF THE BLUES

DARLING WHEN YOU'RE GONE THE SUN WON'T SHINE
DARLING WHEN YOU'RE GONE THE MOONLIGHT DIES
THERE IS ONLY ONE CURE - YOU FOR MY BLUES

YOU, YOU, YOU FOR MY BLUES
YOU FOR MY BLUES, YOU FOR MY BLUES, FOR MY BLUES

IF YOU CAN FEEL IT
HEART-FELT FROM WITHIN
CAN IT BE TRUE IS IT WITHOUT NO DOUBT
HOG-TIED AND FACE-SLAMMED
YOU'RE LOCKED IN THE DEEP
DEEP OF THE BASEMENT OF THE BLUES

SO GO FIND YOUR CURE
MAKE IT AS PURE AS
A COOL WIND ON A WARM SUMMER NIGHT
AND IF YOU TAKE FLIGHT, YOU'RE OUT AND ALRIGHT
OUT OF THE BASEMENT OF THE BLUES

DARLING WHEN YOU'RE GONE THE SUN WON'T SHINE
DARLING WHEN YOU'RE GONE THE MOONLIGHT DIES
THERE IS ONLY ONE CURE - YOU FOR MY BLUES

YOU, YOU, YOU FOR MY BLUES
YOU FOR MY BLUES, YOU FOR MY BLUES, FOR MY BLUES
