Straw - Galveston lyrics

Galveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea wind blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

She was 21 when I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea waves crashing

While I watch the cannons flashing

I clean my gun and dreamed of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water

Standing there staring 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 wipe the tears she's crying

Before I watch the sea birds flying in the sun

Galveston

Galveston

I still see her standing by the water

Standing there staring 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 wipe the tears she's crying

She was 21 when I left Galveston
