	The "Blues Man" is God, He's calling to us in the verses. The singer is "us" and we sing the Chorus in response, accepting His invitation.

	Story Behind the Song This is one of those songs that started out from the point of view of God singing to us. I later realized that the singer had to be singing the chorus as a response to God's inviting verses. God is very assertive here. He is telling us who He is, in this blues metaphor, and what He wants - Our Souls - nothing less. To be with Him (in a Blues sense) is to be in touch with our emotions. Our deepest emotions are those that connect us directly to the Almighty. Again, this is a mythological approach to a time honored message, and the approach that I follow most often. Lyrics I am the Blues Man, honey And I am here for your Soul I am the Blues Man, baby And I am here for your Soul Give me all your sweet lovin And I will turn it into Gold I am your Blues Man, honey Can you hear Me this one time I am your Blues Man, baby I want you to hear Me this one time Well, I'm on my way to sorrow If you don't hear Me in time (chorus) You see, the Blues calls to me Cause it wants me to see That Love, is where I want to stay The Blues says: "I do" "I love you really true" The Blues says: "I want you to be free" Yeah, that's the Blues now It's what I want for me SOLO (Chorus) Oh the Blues calls to me It just wants me to see That I'm alive, and throwing away my pain The Blues says: "I do" "I love you really true" The Blues says: "I want you to be free" Yeah, that's the Blues now It's what I want for me I am your Blues Man, honey And you know I ain't lying I am your Blues Man, baby I want to thank you for trying We're on fire now, baby There ain't no more denying We're on fire now, baby There ain't no more denying
