Lyrics
Texas
"It's coming. It's coming in from the west side"
"She's close by. She's real close."
There's a girl on my horizon. She gets to bed by 12.
She's always here to see the break of dawn
She opens her eyes just to check that she's asleep
and closes her eyes just to dream of being awake.
Here comes that girl out on my horizon
Straight into my arms
Straight into my heart
She said take my love to Texas this time
Back on that horizon she had Paris in her eyes
The sooner you forget, the sooner the surprise of life
The sooner you forget, the sooner the surprise of life
Well she walked and she talked of all the strange dreams
Yes she walked and she talked
She said take my love to Texas this time
Girl on my horizon she talked of disgrace
She looked into my eyes and I looked into her face
She said when you get out I'll teach you ways
She spoke in words I never heard
I can't take no love to Texas this time
Take me home
She told me stories of long before the war had started
But the war had ended
Can you see yourself
But these words were just Dust...so
I said
I'm gonna take your love to Texas this time
Did you see the wolves gather about her door?
Did you ever see her hand in mine?
Did you?
Oh did you baby?
My kind of girl, I'll take your love to Texas
I'll take your love to Texas this time
Believe me
Just put your hand in mine
Walk into my horizon
