Depths Of Blue

about

Oh boy, another song about the pitfalls of alcohol. If it’s not me drinking too much it must be my girlfriend. Otherwise, where would I find the drama to write about? This is a song I wrote a number of years ago about a girlfriend who didn’t know who to go home with after a couple of drinks. What I saw in her that made me so forgiving, I can’t quite put my finger on. I rediscovered this fine story of true love while scouring through my old cassette tapes looking for previously unreleased material. Although I haven’t had a drink for years, it doesn’t take much imagination for me to put myself back in this very dark place.

lyrics

Depths Of Blue

Swore off love a long time ago
Sweet lord above how she hurt me so
Hurt me in the morning
And in the afternoon
‘cause when she gets to drinking
She goes down to the depths of blue

Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue
Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue

Swore off hope a long time ago
Sweet lord above how she hurt me so
Know that she don’t mean
The nasty things she say
Just get me through the night
She won’t remember anyway

Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue
Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue

Every night is a Saturday night
It don’t matter that she treat me right
Don’t matter that she holds all the cards
My baby takes it too hard

Swore of redemption a long time ago
Lord knows I should let her go
know that she don’t mean
The nasty things she do
Who goin’ to be there
‘til she comes comes home to you

Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue
Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue
Until she comes home to you
I’d do anything you ask me to
Until she comes home to you
She goes down to the depths of blue
