Unbearably Blue

(album: Yonder Tree - 1995)

Russian blue, yeah Russian blue
Like sapphire in the sun
She taunted me so tenderly
What speck of logic I possess
Was hard on the run

I begged myself, don't give an inch
Don't wrestle with them eyes
One fatal glance, one look askance
Will only end in sorrow
Oh, dear boy, be advised
You're a happy man, and happy man
Resist what fools might do
Yeah, right, such noble words would be wise
If only they were true
'Cause her eyes are so unbearably blue

Now ain't I smart, so insufferably smart
Why it leaves me stupefied
The face is flush, my mind is mush
I oughta cut and run
But all I do is slip and slide

Seems my body and my soul
Got conflicting points of view
Now then, which master do I serve
If I only knew
'Cause her eyes are so unbearably blue
Unbearably blue
