Lyrics

Sorrow Is the street that I'm living on Across Pain Avenue In a town call Moan The people I see are sadder than me A river of tears Don't you know it flows by my door And I'm living (Next door to the Blues) Yes I'm living (Next door to the Blues) And after all I've been through I've had to move Oh Lord Next door to the Blues Memory You can tell it in my talk My heart hurts Even when I walk I cry on A pillar made of stone Pity is my name And that thing called love is to blame And I'm living (Next door to the Blues) Yes I'm living (Next door to the Blues) And after all I've been through I've had to move, oh Lord Next door to the Blues Bittersweet Is the food that I cook My only joy is in a storybook The talk I give Every word brings a tear Every hello Just ends with a sad goodbye And I'm living (Next door to the Blues) Yes I'm living (Next door to the Blues) And after all I've been through I've had to move, Oh Lord Next door to the Blues
