Somewhere In Texas
Somewhere down in Texas there's a water hole run dry
Where a coyote stares and lingers, seems to wonder why.
A memory was born near here when first was fanned the flame
A memory was born near here when first I spoke her name
Somewhere down in Texas shadows lengthen in the eve
The creatures of the night come forth, dreams begin to weave
I recall that first contact when eye to eye we gazed
The crowd around us seemed to fade as we stood silent, dazed
Somewhere down in Texas there are lovers 'neath the stars
They share their dreams together 'tween Jupiter and Mars
Perhaps those dreams they'll realize, who can say for sure
Ours have faded long ago, but memories are pure
Somewhere down in Texas the music still plays for those
Who loved and lost but still recall that first Texas rose
When memories of who we were bring a gentle sigh
Like the coyote we stare, linger, seem to wonder why
