Water Blue

(Tom T. Hall)



My teardrops remind me that I'm water blue

A conscience too healthy for all I've been through

The sun shines and I think that I should improve

But I'm heartsick and I'm water blue

I'm heartsick and I'm water blue.



Whiskey in water and salt in my tears

Too many long nights, for too many years

They say I'll forget you but I never do

I'm heartsick and I'm water blue

I'm heartsick and I'm water blue.



--- Instrumental ---



As blue as an ocean, as blue as a lake

Thinking about you and all my mistakes

All I ever wanted was my job and you

Now I'm heartsick and I'm water blue

I'm heartsick and I'm water blue...
