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 lie 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
Well, 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
Well, I don't like the blues
'Cause I can't see through the tears that come
And make it hard to find you

But 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

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
