If You Ever Leave

As the psychedelic cowboy left impressions
 On a half empty barroom he just played
 And the hippie girl from Austin waited patiently
 In the alley to fulfill the plans they made
 They drove the Studebaker toward the sunrise
 And pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel
 The sky glowed like mescaline around them
 As they promised love no love song could fulfill
 If you ever leave, I'm going with you
 Words whispered softly in the night
 We may have been high when we wrote it in the sky
 But I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die
 A wild painted pony crossed the highway
 An omen that we both thought was good
 Like a morning lullaby or an eagle as she flies
 Signs we could have not misunderstood
 If you ever leave, I'm going with you
 Words whispered softly in the night
 We may have been high when we wrote it in the sky
 But I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die
 ♪
 Now the years twist us like two broken arrows
 But our symphony still plays a sweet refrain
 Just lofty love and laughter we gave into
 Two old weathered hearts that dared to dream
 If you ever leave, I'm going with you
 Words whispered softly in the night
 We may have been high when we wrote it in the sky
 But I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die
 Oh, I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die
