(Nanci Griffith)
|
So much silence to my hometown streets
|
Gonna put my cheek to the window and watch it sleep
|
Where the shadow's fall from sycamore trees
|
Fight off this north wind and I'll be headin' back east
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Let the Colorado River roll on the sea
|
I will be crossing it in changes
|
This 'ole town never did really care
|
That much for me
|
I don't know why I always come here
|
In my dreams
|
|
It's the hardest to hold but it's the easiest to find
|
If you'll slip for the dollar I'll fall in the wine
|
But you cannot save your past for today
|
It will leave you cold on an outbound train
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Folded memories in my soul
|
It's that old blue line that you can never go back home
|
So I'm waiting for the moon to rise
|
He'll kiss my tears away and set my heart in line
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Let the Colorado River roll on to the sea
|
I will be crossing it in changes
|
This 'ole town never did really care that much for me
|
I only come here to remember my dreams
|
Sleep tight
|
Hill Country town
|
Goodnight
|
