Galveston

(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...
