"Blue Bayou" lyrics

Wade with me way out into the water
I don't care if I can't touch 'cause I'm in over my head
With you, I'm in too deep as I drift off in your current
And I'm certain that, "I love you," would sound something like this

To sleep beside you every night, I'd like to
Take all your secrets to the grave, I'd die too
And when you want to be alone, that's fine too
But if you need me when you cry, I'll be
Blue Bayou

Stay with me until this world meets the other
Till I find you on the other side, I'll be holding my breath
So what? I'm drowning without knowing from your fountain overflowing
You're the one I want for holding for the rest of my life

To sleep beside you every night, I'd like to
Take all your secrets to the grave, I'd die too
And when you want to be alone, that's fine too
But if you need me when you cry, I'll be
Blue Ba—

You and me, best believe I want you all to myself
Underneath, I'd rather sink with you than swim from something else
I don't wanna be anywhere if it ain't right beside you
Sitting on the water's edge of the bank of Blue Bayou

To sleep beside you every night, I'd like to
Take all your secrets to the grave, I'd die too
And when you want to be alone, that's fine too
But if you need me when you cry, I'll be
Blue Bayou
