I can fool them with a smile
But my eyes never lie
See, when those blues hunt me down
It's impossible to hide
I can't dream of better times no
It don't work when you're this low
When those blues come around
I'm better off on my own
Alone and waiting
Waiting for the fog to lift
Waiting for the fog to lift
It blows in uninvited
Smokey ribbons all adrift
And it starts me on a longing
For a life that don't exist
I can't tell what's up or down no
'Cause that melancholy's thick
When those blues come around
I can't give them the slip
So just leave me waiting
Waiting for the fog to lift
I know better than to fight it it'll go when it goes
Waiting, I'll be better off all alone
While I wait for the fog to lift
Just leave me waiting, waiting for the fog to lift
Waiting, I'll be waiting for the blues to blow
There's no use in me trying to fight it
I'll just wait for the fog to lift
