"Deep Blues" lyrics - WISHBONE ASH

WISHBONE ASH
"Deep Blues"
(Joe Crabtree / Ian Harris / Muddy Manninen / Andy Powell)

You come to me with that smile on your face
That same old look in your eyes
I notice that there's not a hair out of place
Your sweet mouth telling more lies

You tell me it's different and you'll change this time
But the trouble is I've heard it before
You see it's always me in the firing line
I just can't take anymore

[Chorus 1:]
You're no longer my desire
Your blues are way too deep
You kill the mood and you put out the fire
Your blues are way too deep

You failed to read all the warning signs
Refused to see the red flags
And now I guess you've just run out of time
Blowing the last chance we had

[Chorus 2:]
You're no longer my concern
My heart is mine to keep
It seems to me you'll never learn
Your blues are way too deep

You know that you suck all the air from a room
Get your friends around to compensate
Too many times they've heard that same old tune
It's more than they appreciate

For seven long years, I gave you good advice
Thinking it would make a difference someday
I gave you the goods to make a better life
But you took them all and threw it away

[Chorus 1:]
You're no longer my desire
Your blues are way too deep
You kill the mood and you put out the fire
Your blues are way too deep

[Chorus 2:]
You're no longer my concern
My heart is mine to keep
It seems to me you'll never learn
Your blues are way too deep
