Blue River

Tell me why a song is sad
Never glad
Blue river
Blue river
Do you hold a memory of a vanished dream?

Sing to me on lips I press
And caress
Blue river
Blue river
'Til I saw my hopes go drifting down a stream

Can't we all forget that bright
Summer night?
In our little canoe
But our blue eyes lost the light
As we whispered, "I do"

When I hear your lonesome song
I know that something's wrong
Blue river
Blue river
Maybe it's because I'm just as blue as you
