How Deep It Goes

In the quiet afternoon you left and went down into town

And I just watched the empty road behind you

Where the fog lies kissing the mountainside

You want to be sleeping, deep inside

Believing that the hungry world won't find you

Well, that's just fine, that's just fine

You've got to believe and I don't know, I don't know

What I believe anymore

Or whether to leave, or whether to stay

Or what I can say

To make you know

How deep it goes

Somebody turned on the dirty blues

I know you don't like the blues

Cause the words are always the same

And they kind of remind you

Somebody turned the blues on me

I don't like the blues cause I can't see

Through the tears that come and make it hard to find you

Come on down

Come on down

You've got to come lay down here and say those things

Those warm things, right here in my ear

The times that you had that water like wine

So clean and so fine to make me know how deep it goes

Well, that's just fine, that's just fine

You've got to believe and I don't know, I don't know

If I could leave anymore, even though there's a scar

Still fresh from the war, don't think about it no more

Letting new love flow

How deep it goes
