Pools of Blue


He’s asleep again
At the wheel again
Breathing sour fumes of gin
The dashboard hides a tearful grin

The sun will rise
And sting his eyes
As nether regions crane
For H2O and that which knows no shame

I’m no good y’all when I’m drinking
I talk too much without thinking
And little clouds I bring around
All rain down on you

Oh that I could start again
And tend to what I should
My woman
For honey’s eyes, once filled with pride
Now wash away in pools of blue

Well give yourself another chance
And try to fill that great expanse you made
And though she’s gone there’s hope for you
Time is but a friend to you
Bringing new scenes with no memories

Oh that I could start again
And tend to what I should
My woman
For honey’s eyes, once filled with pride
Now washed away in pools of blue
And oh that I could start again
And tend to what I should
