Lyrics of Wild Blue
Never seen the sun before
Lyin' on the ocean floor
I'm walkin' through the wilderness
And livin' off the loneliness
Oh, wild blue, deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh, baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
Yeah, yeah
Oh
All the tears I meant to cry
Dance across the evenin' sky
And in my sorrow, I can see
That missin' you belongs to me
Oh, wild blue, deeper than I ever knew
Wild blue on a bed of grey
Oh, baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
Wild blue, deeper than I ever knew
It's a wild blue since you went away
Oh, baby, what a wild blue
I found myself when I lost you
And you'll never know
The unlikely beauty in letting you go
