Harris Emmylou Waltz Across Texas Tonight Lyrics

Waltz Across Texas Tonight Lyrics

(Rodney Crowell,  Emmylou Harris)
the wind can blow cold, it moans and it
cries
when it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
but if you listen
tonight on that high lonely plain
you'll just hear my voice as it calls out
your name
you'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
you've been
on a road that just don't seem to end
where that broken old heart of yours
won't ever mend
you've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
so many
rivers and so much to learn
so many bridges and so much to learn
but the
moon is so full, the stars are so bright
and my hand is steady, my touch is
light
look in my eyes, hold on real tight
and I'll waltz you my darling
across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
we
both have known hard luck and love that's gone wrong
when the ghosts take
the shadows and the night takes too long
we folded our cards when the hand
wasn't strong
but that wheel will keep spinning long after we're
gone
yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
and the
moon is so full, the stars are so bright
and my hand is steady, my touch is
light
look in my eyes, hold on real tight
and I'll waltz you my darling
across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
look
in my eyes, hold on real tight
and I'll waltz you my darling across Texas
tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
