Lyrics

DEEP or SHALLOW
by James H. Turner

Verse:
Was it deep or shallow
The place where you’ve been
Was it deep or hollow
In what might have been
Can you still swallow
The life you’ve chosen
Can you still smile
When you didn’t follow him
When you didn’t follow him

Chorus:
They say nothing’s forever
But the sun and the sky
Nothing’s forever
Not you, not I
Memories can be cold
Or something to behold
Walking that tightrope
To a life with some hope

Interlude:
Stay with your heart
It won’t break apart
It slowly mends
Until you’re whole again

Verse:
Your truck kicks up dust
On the road to town
How are you feeling
Now that he’s not around
Does a peach still smell ripe
Or the sunset delight
Or your hair just fall right
When you turn off the light
When you turn off the light

Chorus:
They say nothing’s forever
But the sun and the sky
Nothing’s forever
Not you, not I
Memories can be cold
Or something to behold
Walking that tightrope
To a life with some hope

End:
To a life with some hope!
