Galveston
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Galveston oh Galveston.
I still hear your sea wind blowing.
I still see her dark eyes glowing.
She was 21 when I left Galveston.
Galveston oh Galveston.
I still hear your sea waves crashing.
While I watch the cannons flashing.
I clean my gun and dreamed of Galveston.
I still see her standing by the water.
Standing there starng out to sea.
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run.
Galveston oh Galveston.
I am so afraid of dying.
Before I wipe the tears she's crying.
Before I watch the sea birds flying in the sun.
Galveston.
Galveston.
I still see her standing by the water.
Standing there staring out to sea.
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run.
Galveston oh Galveston.
I am so afraid of dying.
Before I wipe the tears she's crying.
She was 21 when I left Galveston.
