歌詞
[Verse 1]
In a secluded monastery, by the delta's flow,
Lives a lonesome monk, with a heart filled with woe.
He's traded worldly pleasures for a life of prayer,
Yet his soul yearns for something more, beyond compare.
[Chorus]
Oh, lonesome Christian monk, your blues run deep,
In the stillness of the night, your secrets you keep.
The weight of solitude, a heavy cross to bear,
As you search for solace, through hymns and whispered prayers.
[Verse 2]
The blues seep into his soul, like the river's tide,
As he contemplates the mysteries that within him reside.
He's torn between his devotion and his earthly desires,
A conflict that sets his heart ablaze with fires.
[Chorus]
Oh, lonesome Christian monk, your blues run deep,
In the stillness of the night, your secrets you keep.
The weight of solitude, a heavy cross to bear,
As you search for solace, through hymns and whispered prayers.
[Bridge]
Slide guitar moans, like a solitary voice,
Echoing the monk's longing, his heart's troubled choice.
The harmonica wails, a lament filled with pain,
As he grapples with his doubts, his hopes, and his disdain.
[Bridge]
Slide guitar moans, like a solitary voice,
Echoing the monk's longing, his heart's troubled choice.
The harmonica wails, a lament filled with pain,
As he grapples with his doubts, his hopes, and his disdain.
[Slide guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
He seeks refuge in the scriptures, but finds no reprieve,
For the blues have taken hold, they refuse to leave.
He questions his faith, his purpose, and his way,
Lost in a spiritual maze, where shadows hold sway.
[Chorus]
Oh, lonesome Christian monk, your blues run deep,
In the stillness of the night, your secrets you keep.
The weight of solitude, a heavy cross to bear,
As you search for solace, through hymns and whispered prayers.
[Outro]
But amidst the darkness, a flicker of light,
As the monk finds strength in the depths of his plight.
He embraces his solitude, his unique path to tread,
And discovers solace in the blues he's been led.
[Chorus]
Oh, lonesome Christian monk, your blues run deep,
In the stillness of the night, your secrets you keep.
The weight of solitude, a heavy cross to bear,
As you search for solace, through hymns and whispered prayers.
[Slide guitar solo]
[Outro]
But amidst the darkness, a flicker of light,
As the monk finds strength in the depths of his plight.
He embraces his solitude, his unique path to tread,
And discovers solace in the blues he's been led.
