Jimmy Webb Galveston Lyrics

Galveston Lyrics

GALVESTON

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
While I watch the cannon flashing
And I clean my gun
And I
dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing
there, looking 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 dry the tears she's crying
Before I see your sea birds
flying
In the sun, at Galveston
