Up to My Ears in Tears

If I can't wash away your memory, guess I'll just go under slow
Yeah, that water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you, dear
That water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you, dear

Well I found some old love letters you wrote me years ago
What else could I do, I'd never felt like that before
'Cause you left that water runnin', now it's got nowhere to go
That water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you, dear
Up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin' night and day since you went away
That water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you, dear
The things you used to say, honey, I no longer hear

But the words all ran together when the tears began to flow
I'm cryin' night and day since you went away
Up to my ears in tears
Now I'm up to my ears in tears
Up to my ears in tears
Yeah, I'm up to my ears in tears

I'm cryin' night and day since you went away
The things you used to say, honey, I no longer hear
'Cause I'm up to my ears in tears
The things you used to say, honey, I no longer hear

So I cried an old blue river in the middle of the floor
