BLUE SOUND


 

What do I do when down?

What do I do when I here

That blue sound

 

What do I do when alone?

What do I do when I here

That blue sound

 

The words, the sound

Got my mind spinning around

It gets me up when down

I just can't come down

 

What do I do when holding you?

What do you hear when holding me?

The blue sound

Beating in my heart

 

What do I do when we're apart?

What do I hear in my heart?

I here you sing the blues

I feel that blue sound

 

The words, the sound

Got me going around

What is my direction now?

That blue sound

Turned up or turned down

Feel that blue sound
