Texan Rose

London rain and Texan skies Warm my heart and thrill my eyes Flooded streets and clouds for miles Think I’ll stay here for a while Bright red buses and trusty steeds Carry my spirit wherever they lead City bustling and cattle at graze This is where I spend my days Royal parks with Texas Rangers Sounds of home could not be stranger London Symphony plays Tex Ritter Here is where you’ll see me linger Buckingham Palace address Dealey Plaza My horizon spans farther and vaster Cockney slang welcomes y’all To a place my happiness befalls Union Jack flies Stars and Stripes A family parted again unites An English rose with roots state side A love of each, to both I’m tied
