"Galveston" Lyrics

(Jim Webb)

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty one when I left Galveston.

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
As I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston.

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there looking out the sea
Is she waiting there for me on the beach
Where we used to run.

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Until I dry the tears she's crying
Till I watch your seagulls flying in the sun at Galveston
At Galveston.

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there looking out the sea
Is she waiting there for me on the beach
Where we used to run...
