Kathryn In Blue

Music & Lyrics: Allen Wentz

Kathryn in blue by the water
Nothing was true that they taught her
And now she believes in a picture someone else has painted
Now not alone, she wonders how it might turn out
Not really sure, but somewhere lies a bit of doubt

Kathryn is blue by the water
Wearing the ring that he bought her
Compromise winning yet another day
Picking her dress, and cake for all the people there
Settling down, into a life that goes nowhere

A little time for contemplation, and a drink or two
Security is such temptation, but a love thats true, is worth the wait

harmonica

Shedding her tears and wondering how it might have been
If she had only listened to her heart back then

Kathryn in blue by the water
She never really believed what they taught her
And now her better days are right before her
It has been said, too many times to count I'm sure
Everyone has to love for its the only cure

This one was from the album "Out of Warranty".

A lovely review from CD News & Notes (Summer 2006)...

OVERNIGHT MUSIC - Inspired by pop heroes like Marshall Crenshaw and Jules Shear, rising D.I.Y. pop maestro Allen Wentz establishes some credentials with the 2005 release of Out Of Warranty. Nicely produced solid indy pop with an edge, the ten track CD a great spin from start to finish. Post punk pop influences like Elvis Costello pop up as well but Wentz is at his best on strum and twang marvels like “Hole In My House” and “Kathryn In Blue.” The renowned Swedish guitarist George Wadenius appears on a couple of tracks here including a cool cover of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.”
