Deep River Blues
Deep is the river, water is wide.
Rainin' 'cross the sky.
Long ago on a Summer night.
Whiskey moonlight in your eyes.
Over mountains and far away.
Deep river blues.
Hand on the telephone tryin' to get a line on you.
In the twlight the time is right.
Lightening cracks the sky.
Talk on the wind, dance the lights.
Water running from my eyes.
Over mountains and far away.
Deep river blues.
Hand on the telephone tryin' to get a line on you.
Trees glisten in a purple haze, teen years confused and dazed.
Beat of the night young women say, sing of the ones that slipped away.
Over mountains and far away.
Deep river blues.
Hand on the telephone tryin' to get a line on you.
Black of night, the winding road.
Wind blows as it does.
Hand in hand we walk the shore in a land that never was.
Over mountains and far away.
Deep river blues.
Hand on the telephone tryin' to get a line on you.
Full moon harvest, lover of life.
Still waiting to begin.
The tide runs high, Shakespearian dreams.
To find the rainbows end.
Over mountains and far away.
Deep river blues.
Hand on the telephone tryin' to get a line on you.
Moonlight lady, spirits in the night.
Blue jeans laced up tight.
Dark of the woods the time was right.
Rio Vista Summer night.
Over mountains and far away.
Deep river blues.
Hand on the telephone tryin' to get a line on you.
