Blue For You

(album: Holding Back The River - 1989)

I was born by the river
So I know where the river runs dry
I couldn't last forever

Accused just for living
But I know that the living was right
I couldn't last forever
Look at me making movies
Making living like I've never lived before

And the people wanting out of the river
Like a poor boy really should

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you, yeah

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you

There's a man who I know
You know he's got a fist full of dirty dollars
And I know they won't last forever
Does he really know what people are saying
Always feeling sure what he is there saying
But the other's disappear he was alone

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you

I go back to the river
Cause I know where the river runs dry
I couldn't last forever
Take the night making movies
Like a villain never ever seen the night of day
Don't you know that I can't last forever

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What you do for me I'll do for you

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is blue for you

Now I can sit and stand it
Like other people do
What is blue for me, is kind of blue for you, yeah

Hello I'm going down
You know I don't want to wear no pretty crown
Help people I'm going down
