When I First Came Here

(Dwight Yoakam)



When I first came here

And I was empty, lost and weak

When I first came here

In your arms I found relief

When I first came here

And I was empty, lost and weak

When I first came here

In your arms I found relief.



When I first came here

I was searching for a friend

When I first came here

It was your heart that took me in

When I first came here

I was searching for a friend

When I first came here

It was your heart that took me in.



Though I wasn't wrong to long for your beauty

And my eyes were not blind to trust your smile

What they once never showed

Were the endless moments alone

That you'd leave behind.



--- Instrumental ---



No, they once never showed

These ceaseless moments alone

Are what you'd leave behind.



When I first came here

Your lips were where each thought begun

When I first came here

My craving for you knew no end

When I first came here

Your lips were where each thought begun

When I first came here

My craving for you wouldn't end.

When I first came here

Each morning we woke spent and weak

When I first came here

We seldon used our bed to sleep

When I first came here

Each woke each morning spent and weak

When I first came here

Our bed was seldon used our for sleep.



When I first came here

I fell victim to your touch

When I first came here

I sought and craved it's constant clutch

When I first came here

I fell victim to your touch

When I first came here

I sought and craved it's constant clutch.



When I first came here

If my memory serves me right

When I first came here

You shared each breath I drew all night

When I first came here

If my memory serves me right

When I first came here

You shared each breath through every night...
