When sunshine is not enough To make me feel bright It's got me suffering in the darkness That's so easy come by on the road-side Of one loong life-time It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue When you stand there, watch tired bodies Full of sickness and pain To show you just how helpless you really are When you get down to the truth It hurts me It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue When I think of the life I'm living Pray God help me; give me your light So I can love you and understand This repetition that keeps me here Feeling deep blue It's got me deep blue You know I'm deep blue
