Lyrics
BLUE RIVER BLUE
SITTING DOWN BY THE RIVER
WATCHING THE WATER FLOW TO THE SEA
PLAYING THE BLUES
WISHING YOU WERE HERE WITH ME
BUT LIKE THE WATER THAT RUNS
YOU'VE GONE AWAY FROM ME
NOW THERE'S A HEART JUST CRYING
LONLY AND FREE
BLUE RIVER BLUE
BLUE RIVER BLUE
THE DARK BLUE WATER
HURTING THROUGH AND THROUGH
THE SLIDE IS CRYING (BLUE RIVER BLUE
IT CHILLS MY SOUL THE SLIDE IS CRYING
BUT THE FEELING RUNS DEEP IT CHILLS MY SOUL
BLUE RIVER BLUE BLUE RIVER BLUE
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE
THE BLUE AND THE GREEN
AND THE SUNSHINE SPARKLES
LIKE DIAMONDS IT SEEMS
IT'S A SHAME I GET TO SEE
THIS SPLENDOR ALONE
I REMEMBER THE DAYS
WHEN I HAD A HAPPY HOME
I'M MARRIED TO MY MUSIC
IT'S THE LIFE THAT I CHOSE
BUT THE SACRIFICE YOU MAKE
AND THE COST OF THE ROAD
BUT MUSIC IS LIKE HEROIN
IT CAPTURES MY SOUL
IT TORTURES MY LIFE
AND WON'T LET ME GO
