in this deep blue night
deep blue night
deep blue night
as blue as my song
for you

locked outside i am cold i am only a humble suitor
but low down in my soul i carry a six-shooter
if i'm bound for a fall there's little i can do
for time takes all but my solitude

in this deep blue night deep
blue night
deep blue night
as blue as my song
for you

this wild world of wars puts its hands in my pockets
and robs me poor except for this locket
where i peek now and then and secretly sigh
with love to defend i was born to testify

in this deep blue night deep blue night
deep blue night
as blue as my song
for you
