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
