Deep Blues
Dennis Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know how I got here down which road I came been in the deep blues so long each direction looks the same
Deep blues slows my foot steps deep blues blinds my eyes deep blues makes me give up before I even try
Got no one to run to when my day is done no one really knows me be my only one
I got no familiar voices on my telephone keep me from slipping away when I'm so alone

Don't know how I got here down which road I came been in the deep blues so long each direction looks the same
Deep blues slows my foot steps deep blues blinds my eyes deep blues makes me deep blues makes me
deep blues makes me give up before I even try
