Lyrics
She leaves me so inspired
Keeps me searching for some silver lining
Then truth drops,(uninvited)in,
And I know just where I've failed...
But If you see her tonight
I wonder if you might...
Tell her that I wish I could be with her but I'm bound for other shows
And I'm bound to keep on writing all the letters she ignores
And I wish I could do better but I'll stay just like I've been,
Sail my ship on these blue waters,
Feel the tide take me out again.
Blue ocean, always gleaming
Lots of room for heartaches as the cargo, 'til it springs a leak, and the blue pours in
then I'm waist deep in despair...
But if you see her tonight...
Chorus
