Dawn in San Antone

(Billy Graham)



Footprints on the sidewalk

Crush by me in the night

The tavern signs on this old street

Are stepping stones of life.



I walk and walk and search for you

Half stoned and all alone

How much longer can it be

To dawn in San Antone?



Neon painted pictures

Flash red and green and blue

I seem to feel you press my back

And draw me close to you.



Memories that break my mind

Hurt deep when I'm alone

As the night walks slowly

To dawn in San Antone.



I may let a strange girl love me

Just to keep me from the cold

But when I'm with another

Your mem'ry's what I hold/



I still have the rosebud

I've bought you for your hair

A half smoked cigarette I say

Was one I let you share.



Time went so fast when you were mine

But now that I'm alone

There's nothing more that comes so slow

As dawn in San Antone.



There's nothing more that comes so slow

As dawn in San Antone...
