Blues Boy ...

Lyrics:

He heard the wail of a train
He heard the sound of the rain.
He heard his mother cry:
“Blues Boy, why do you roam
so far from your home?”
With dust in his eyes,
he looked up at the sky:
“I can tell you only this.
I’ll find my way to Heaven.
I’ll build a bridge to bliss.”
Blues Boy, why do you roam
so far from your home?
One day, illness and age
carried him away.
With sleep in his eyes,
he looked up at the sky:
“I can tell you only this.
I’ll find my way to Heaven.
I’ll build a bridge to bliss.”
Blues Boy, why do you roam
so far from your home?
I can say only this.
You made your way to Heaven.
You built a bridge to bliss.
