(Tom T. Hall)

My teardrops remind me that I'm water blue
A conscience too healthy for all I've been through
The sun shines and I think that I should improve
But I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
I'm heartsick and I'm water blue.

Whiskey in water and salt in my tears
Too many long nights, for too many years
They say I'll forget you but I never do
I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
I'm heartsick and I'm water blue.

--- Instrumental ---

As blue as an ocean, as blue as a lake
Thinking about you and all my mistakes
All I ever wanted was my job and you
Now I'm heartsick and I'm water blue
I'm heartsick and I'm water blue...
