The Gulf Of Mexico

The Texas coastline hold her close
 Just like a lady
 And in their time they've
 Weathered a storm or two.
 The river feed her waters
 Like I feed your memory.
 The deeper I go the more I'm turning blue.
 The sandy beaches drift in time
 And the changing tide I know
 Won't bring me back to yesterday
 And the Gulf of Mexico.
 The sails out on the water
 Will come take you away.
 When your ship comes in
 I know its time to go
 And the waves along the seawall
 Tell me nothings here to stay
 And no man is an island
 But I'm still all alone.
 I'm weighing anchors from the past
 As the south winds start to blow
 Sailing out of yesterday
 And the Gulf of Mexico.
 I'll be sailing out of yesterday
 And the Gulf of Mexico...
