Footprints on the sidewalk crush by me in the night
|
The tavern signs on this old street are stepping stones of life
|
I walk and walk and search for you half stoned and all alone
|
How much longer can it be to dawn in San Antone
|
Neon painted pictures flash red and green and blue
|
I seem to feel you press my back and draw me close to you
|
Memories that break my mind hurt deep when I'm alone
|
As the night walks slowly to dawn in San Antone
|
I may let a strange girl love me just to keep me from the cold
|
But when I'm with another your mem'ry's what I hold
|
I still have the rosebud I've bought you for your hair
|
A half smoked cigarette I say was one I let you share
|
Time went so fast when you were mine but now that I'm alone
|
There's nothing more that comes so slow as dawn in San Antone
|
There's nothing more that comes so slow as dawn in San Antone
|
