Lyrics

Deeper I Go Into Blue

WELL I WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN A CHEAP MOTEL, SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE BUFFALO
AND I COULD HEAR THE DIESEL RIGS, AT A STOP DOWN THE WAY
AS THE TRUCKERS ROLLED IN FROM THE ROAD

THE MOTEL NEON BRANDED THE COAL DARK DAWN
AND I JUST STARED AT THOSE LIGHTS HARD AND LONG
THINKING ABOUT WHAT I'D LEFT FAR BEHIND
WONDERING HOW I'D BEEN SO WRONG

BECAUSE I WENT DOWN THAT HIGHWAY BELIEVING
THAT THE WOMAN I NEEDED WASN'T YOU
BUT THE FURTHER I GET FROM YOUR LOVING
IS THE DEEPER I GO INTO BLUE

GOT A JOB AS A SOUNDMAN, IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND
AND I SPEND ALL MY TIME ON THE ROAD
THE PAY IS ALL RIGHT, BUT THE TRAVELLING IS ROUGH
AND THE MOTELS AND RESTAURANTS GET SO OLD

I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF LADIES, BUT MORE AND MORE LATELY
IT JUST SEEMS I CAN'T BE SATISFIED
GUESS I GOT WHAT I WANTED, NO COMMITMENTS NO TIES
BUT THE FREEDOM I SOUGHT WAS A LIE

SOMETIMES LATE AT NIGHT, WHEN I'M DRIVING ALONE
AND THERE'S NO ONE AROUND ME FOR MILES
WHEN THE WHITE LINES ARE DANCING, AND I'M HYPNOTIZED
IN THE DARKNESS ALL I SEE ARE YOUR EYES

AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT I'M RUNNING FROM
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M RUNNING TO,
BUT THE FURTHER I GET FROM YOUR LOVING
IS THE DEEPER I GO INTO BLUE

MAYBE IT WAS MY DRINKING, I NEVER KNEW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING
YOU KNOW THE FAILURE IS HARD TO CONFESS
AND I KNOW NOW TOO LATE, THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN STRONGER
BUT THINKING BACK MY LEAVING WAS BEST

NOW A COLD DAWN APPROACHES, ANOTHER DAY ON THE ROAD
THREE MORE SHOWS IN NEW YORK, THEN IT'S HOME
OUT ON THIS FROZEN FLAT HIGHWAY, IT'S GONNA SNOW HARD TODAY
SOMETIMES I HARDLY SEE WHERE I'M GOING

AND I HOPE THAT YOU FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE
WHO COULD DO FOR YOU WHAT I COULDN'T DO
THE FURTHER I GET FROM YOUR LOVING
I JUST KEEP GOING DEEPER, AND DEEPER, INTO BLUE
I'M SO BLUE
