lyrics

Sweet Betty Blue
Music & Lyrics © 2002 carrie clark

Her mother wore pearls, took a hold of her world
At 18 packed her bags to go.
Off to the states, why bother to wait
She was off to gain fortune and fame.

A nurse in the war, she traveled so far
Where was the future she had dreamed?
A soldier soon called and despite of it all
Born to this world Betty Blue

Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
The world will not change just for you

Growing up on a fast track, her mother she never looked back
She was just a girl in her own mind.
Her family she called and despite of it all
She took off and left Betty Blue

She tested her fate as she moved through the states
Finding ways to escape responsibility and pain
Of losing to war her soldier before
She brought into this world Betty Blue

Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
The world will not change just for you

She followed her path, but she finally turned back
Never found her fortune or her fame
She took off her pearls, turned her back to the world
And said Betty I’m coming home for you

Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
The world will not change just for you

Much like the Salish Sea which they call home, their new LP, Split At The Seams is expansive, just a touch rugged, and undeniably beautiful. ... more
