Jimmy Webb - Galveston lyrics

rate me

GALVESTON<br />

<br />

Galveston, oh Galveston<br />

I still hear your sea winds blowing<br />

I still see her dark eyes glowing<br />

She was twenty-one<br />

When I left Galveston<br />

<br />

Galveston, oh Galveston<br />

I still hear your sea waves crashing<br />

While I watch the cannon flashing<br />

And I clean my gun<br />

And I dream of Galveston<br />

<br />

I still see her standing by the water<br />

Standing there, looking out to sea<br />

And is she waiting there for me?<br />

On the beach where we used to run<br />

<br />

Galveston, oh Galveston<br />

I am so afraid of dying<br />

Before I dry the tears she's crying<br />

Before I see your sea birds flying<br />

In the sun, at Galveston
