(Rodney Crowell/Emmylou Harris)
|
The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
|
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
|
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain
|
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
|
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
|
|
You've been on a road that just don't seem to end
|
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend
|
You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
|
So many rivers and so much to learn
|
So many bridges and so much to learn
|
|
But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
|
And my hand is steady, my touch id light
|
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
|
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
|
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
|
|
We both have known hard luck
|
And love that's gone wrong
|
When the ghosts take the shadows and
|
The night takes too long
|
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong
|
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
|
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
|
|
And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
|
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
|
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight and I'll
|
Waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
|
|
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
|
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
|
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
|
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
|
