lyrics

Where the trees wade in the river, and lay their burdens down, Where the sun wraps too far around the sky, Crazy Blue gonna fill our souls, wash away the lies. Where drops of memory fall sad and sweet, and carry troubles off behind, Where we find that lonesome water all our own, Won't need no paddle (lie down), let Crazy Blue float us on home. Where firefly dances burn the veil, and stars burst through with every sigh, Where the rocks wanna hold us in their dreams, Let Crazy Blue roll in like waves, our hearts driftin' in the steam. When the last daylight's folded away, and your eyes turn back inside, When the rain keeps the dance all through the night, Gonna lay my soul down, dream Crazy Blue there by your side.

about

In loving memory of my lifelong friend Sunny Lynn Worel, who died of colon cancer in 2014.
