I dreamt about the roses
that I had cast into the sea
and I woke up thinking about you
I gazed across the ocean
as I stood there on that beach
but it's not the same as I once knew
it's a deeper shade of blue
it's a deeper shade of blue
Lately I've been trying to find
a place that feels like home
I've grown tired of passing through
I've been restless
lost and so alone
I'm not the man that you once knew
it's a deeper shade of blue
a deeper shade of blue
I've been waiting here so long
living in my song
trying to break on through
all I seem to do
is find a deeper shade of blue
I dreamt about the roses
that I had cast into the sea
and I woke up thinking about you
I gazed across the ocean
as I stood there on that beach
but it's not the same as I once knew
it's a deeper shade of blue
a deeper shade of blue.......
