Deep Sea Blue
Lyrics
DEEP SEA BLUE
Mark Patterson
Copyright 2023

She was a Gulf Coast siren that much I knew
Like the Gulf she was deep and blue
Deep and blue
She ran warm to cold
She just couldn't see herself growing old

The ferryman came that night on the beach
I got there late and she was out of reach
She was out of reach
She was too far gone
I wept to the rhythm of the waves till dawn

Chorus:
Blue - that deep sea blue
She never knew joy like me and you
All sparkle on the surface but way down deep
We're adrift on a sea of the secrets we keep

When I think of how we shoulder pain
We're all so different I can't explain
I can't explain
It wouldn't do you no good
What she couldn't say I understood

That's about all there is to say
Take a seat at the table and make your play
Make your play
And if you get the right deal
You might get off of this low-down wheel

(Chorus)

We're adrift on a sea of - the secrets we keep
