Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

An unexplained departure leaves the narrator waiting beside the phone and imagining what may have happened. He asks forgiveness without knowing exactly what went wrong, then promises to remain where his lover can find him. Familiar song references and riverside imagery give shape to a hope that persists without an answer.

OFF SOMEWHERE (Donna's Song)

She's Off Somewhere
I don't know where she's gone
She's off somewhere
It's been way too long
I can't find her anywhere
Maybe I just shouldn't care
Maybe somewhere far away
For forever or today

I must have said something wrong
My baby went away
She just might be anywhere
I really cannot say
Maybe broken down out there
Or maybe led astray
My sweet baby’s off somewhere
My love has gone away

She's Off Somewhere
As long as she is gone
I’m not going anywhere
I'll stay here beside the phone
I will wait here home alone
Who's right or wrong I just don't care
Because my baby’s Off Somewhere

Please come home my little one
Forgive me for what I've done
I still don't know what made you run
I only know that you're the one
This, my love, I promise too
I will be in love with you
Till the sun falls from the sky
And we can hear the angels cry

Till that day I'll wait for you
Riverside in aqua blue
I don't know much but this is true
Delta Dawn or Blue Bayou
Stand By Me, I'll Stand By You
Disappears into the air
Because my Baby’s Off Somewhere
