Lyrics
BLACK SEA BLUES
Got your mama's eyes, got your mama's eyes
Angel from the sky, got your mama's eyes
Got your daddy's way, got your daddy's way
Leavin' every day, got your daddy's way
Cross this black sea, promise me
If'n you were me, if'n you were me
Would you walk that sea, if'n you were me?
Wearyin' for you, wearyin' for you
That's what I would do, wearyin' for you
Cross this black sea, promise me
Closer than you seem, closer than you seem
Realer than a dream, closer than you seem
Deeper than a well, deeper than a well
Much too deep to tell, deeper than a well
Cross this black sea, promise me
Dawn turning red, dawn turning red
Lay back in the bed, dawn turning red
Got your mama's touch, got your mama's touch
But you got your daddy's way
Cross this black sea, promise me
