Tell Me, Leann - Second Draft

I posted a basic first draft of this one at the end of March, played on synth organ. Since then I've been working out a more melodic version on electric guitar. This is it.



Jump in the water, it's only up to your knees
so you know I'm not as deep as it seems
I'm just hanging upside down
Caught up with Bobby, he said he understands
I started drinking just to do what I can
cuz I don't wanna drown

So tell me, tell me--what are we all crying for, Leann?
If I can't find the words maybe you can

Been looking at pictures of when we were young
nowhere to go and nowhere to come from
but somehow made it here
Met up with Mandy, she said it's okay
even though the colors have all faded away
the sky is still clear

So tell me, tell me--what are we all crying for, Leann?
If I can't find the words maybe you can
