Americana - Tattooed Heart CD

Recorded at Red Rooster Studio, Berkeley, CA

Available on the Tattooed Heart CD

She’s a blue, blue girl

All alone in this crazy world

She’s a sad, sad song

She doesn’t know where she belongs

She looks at me like I am missing the truth

When I say to her it’s all up to you

The things that you need are inside of you

Hoping for truth

Hoping for truth

 

She’s a blue, blue girl

When she looks inside she sees only a blur

A true heartache

Perfect to look at but hard as a rake

She’s got dust on her fingers and dust in her eyes

The depth of her sorrow is hard to describe

It haunts me and pulls at me deep in the night

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

 

She says she’s nothing but a ghost

That’s the thing that hurts me most

Thinking you’re dead and yet you live

Don’t leave you much to give

Don’t leave you much to give

 

She’s a blue, blue girl

Waiting to find her secret pearl

She’s a bittersweet child

A little too tame a little too wild

She never cries, and she never smiles

She lives her life like a bird on a wire

Never looks down she only looks higher

Hoping to fly

Hoping to fly
