Rio Grande

When you look me straight in the eye

I see the bridge behind burning bright

I'm easily distracted

Smoke was filling the sky

Hard to keep my spirit soaring high

Calm and cool my worried mind

I'll try and try and try again

As the tide was coming in

Cried and cried and cried and cried

Til my tears made an ocean of the rioGrande

Birds teach me how to leave

The silhouetted mountains agree

I'm allowed to be irrational

Sun was sinking into the deep

Scattering clouds recklessly

Is that a storm I'm smelling on the breeze

I'll deny deny deny the change in winds

As the sky was caving in

Cried and cried and cried and cried

Til my tears made an ocean of the rio grande

Big river rise to meet me where i stand

Draw a line between me and my man

I can still feel him in my hands

Big river float me home again

Flying down as fast as i can

The freeway to no man's land

Retracing my steps a whole lifetime again

Cause nothing ever goes to plan

Some things we're never meant to understand

I still feel you holding my head in your hands

I'll fly away

As the dawn breaks a new day

Cried and cried and cried and cried til my tears

Made an ocean of the rio grande
