Deep Deep Blue

from Working With Your Hands by Trevor Clawson

lyrics

And so I'm walking by the water on a Monday afternoon
I've got nowhere much to go and I've got nothing much to do
The season's over for another year
Seems that everything's asleep round here
And that big old sun keeps shining
And I'm looking out at deep, deep blue

The kiosks selling ice cream on the streets have nearly all shut down
John and Jane and Mario have packed their bags and gone back to their own towns
My brother's on the phone, saying something's got to change
We'll move on out to somewhere take the money that we've saved
Catch a train and take our chances
Break out from the deep, deep blue

This town might be nothing much but it's all I've known
These streets have all seen better days
But they feel like home
Playing pool in Breaker's Bar
Fixing up my Dad's old car
Right here, right now I'm thinking this is all that I need

Maria worked down on the seafront, waiting tables at the Evergreen cafe
And when our shifts were over, we'd walk the path on the bay
We'd talk long into the night
But when she left she hardly stopped to say goodbye
She had other things to do
And now it's deep, deep blue

So hey I kissed a Spanish girl and right now I can't get her off my mind
She sent a message from her phone and said
Maybe we can meet again some time
She's got a new job and a place that she can stay
So come up for the weekend, we'll see if it works out
Catch a train and take your chances
Break out from the deep, deep blue

his town might be nothing much but it's all I've known
These streets have all seen better days
But they feel like home
Maybe someday I'll fly
Maybe now is the time
Cos right here, right now I'm thinking, she's all that I need
