Lyrics
We came , from up north Where our lives, came up short We were young and we were so restless. Without a sound, without a light We rowed this boat, into the night Please river roll us down and take us We were just, a merely two To be baptized in you you cleaned our lost and dirty souls So the scars that we kept Nearly frightened us to death so now it's the time for us to go [CHORUS] Big Blue, How are you? How are you, Big blue Are you blue? Me too Big blue But then it all sank in Big blue you did it again We were taking on to much of your water So We beached that little boat Couldn't keep her a float My Son, my wife, my daughter So we looked all around A place to settle down On the crown, where the south wind blew Crops grew, from the mud We wait for the spring time floods Off the banks we thank old blue [CHORUS] Big Blue, How are you? How are you, Big blue Are you blue? Me too Big blue Its all, because of you Big blue, saw us through you've been, tried and trued big blue
