Lyrics
The Great Blues Sea
Words: Bernie Gilbert and Brook Schoenfield
Music: Brook Schoenfield © 2003
Sitting in my room,
Play these blues
From morn ?til night
Shuffle and lope,
You gotta hope
Things will turn out all right
Life is pain,
Life is joy
It's salt and it's sweet
Feel the groove,
The rock, the roll
Got to pull you on to your feet
Chorus
Ridin' on that big blue boat
Rockin' on that strong blue river
Reaching for the great blue sea
The blues takes you through the pain
To what you need
The heart beat,
Let your heart beat
To that laid back pulse with no fear
The waves break,
We dig deep
Laughing through all of our tears
Chorus
Vamp
It's what you need
The great blues sea
Will set you free
The great blues sea
