Katie Belle blue

by Townes Van Zandt

There is no deeper blue
in the ocean that lies
as deep as the blue
of your laughing eyes
no sweeter sound
than your gentle sigh
no heart was ever so pure


Dream pretty dreams
touch beautiful things
let all the skies surround you
swim with the swans
and believe that upon
some glorious dawn
love will find you


Come some day
I'm bound away
wind and wings on the water
whatever may
you must stay
and remain my beautiful daughter


There is no deeper blue
in the ocean that lies
as deep as the blue
of your laughing eyes
no sweeter sound
than your gentle sigh
no heart was ever so pure


Good night Katie Belle, good night
