He watched as the rain
Misted over the railroad tracks...
On the back of the 917 heading out
And it ain't coming back
With the wind in her hair
And dreams in her eyes
She's goes gliding away...
And he finds himself out
In the west Texas night all alone...
She blew in from the gulf
On a wing and a prayer
So long he had been on his own
And then now she was there...
With the world in her eyes
And fire on her lips
He goes falling away
Never knowing how much
A man leaves behind when he falls...
(chorus)
He could still taste her kiss
He could still feel her touch
He could still hear her say
Boy it's all way too much...
And don't you get crazy
Don't you be sad
Or forget the times we had
The times we had...
And the earth it would tremble
The sky was ablaze
As their bodies they melted together
And so did the nights into days...
And her scent like a memory
Of some old love song
It just drifts down the hall
Nothing feels quite like love
When a love feels like nothing at all...
(chorus)
He could still taste her kiss
He could still feel her touch
He could still hear her say
Boy it's all way too much...
And don't you get crazy
Don't you be sad
Or forget the times we had
The times we had...
(bridge)
And the nights they get longer and longer
Wondering just where she is
Wondering just who she's holding tonight...
(chorus)
He could still taste her kiss
He could still feel her touch
He could still hear her say
Boy it's all way too much...
And don't you get crazy
Don't you be sad
Or forget the times we had
The times we had...
