My Heart in Deep Despair
The blues dropped by to say,
“You know it’s just a waste of time
To want her back again.
You know she’ll only send
Your heart in deep despair.”
But still, I’ll take a chance.
If fortune sends her back to me,
A moment to be kind
If she were here to find
My heart in deep despair.
Blue is the swallow, homing from the sea.
Blue is this hollow where my heart should be.
So, send my darling home. Oh Lord,
It’s such a hopeless thing
To find I love her still.
I know she’ll always fill
My heart in deep despair.
