Lyrics:
You left the water running when you left me here behind
You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine
You turned out the light
I went into his prison cell
To write his story, if he'd tell
He spoke as tears, fell from his eyes
And he told me when, and how and why
And he
And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me?
How could it be you've found another game to play?
What did mama say to me?
That's
Galveston, oh, Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was twenty-one when I left Galveston
When you're weary, feelin' small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side, when times get rough
And friends just can't be
Blue smoke goes drifting by
Into the deep blue sky
And when I think of home
I sadly sigh
Oh I can see you there
With loving tears in your eyes
But if you see me walkin' by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
And if we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what
Still wave to their neighbor when they're drivin' by
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about the Heartland
Sing a song about my life
But if you see me walkin' by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
And if we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what
And when I'm out I see you walking
Why don't your eyes see me?
Could it be you've found another game to play
What did mama say to me?
That's the way
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! When times get rough,
And friends just
The air is getting hotter
There's a rumbling in the skies
I've been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Everyday
You left the water running when you left me here behind
You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine
You turned out the light
Galveston, oh, Galveston
I still hear your seawinds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty one, when I left Galveston
their sales
Like you're only gon' end up either dead or in jail
But you my nigga, wish you the best for real
When you mention my name amongst other
could bark
And faster than the sun rose
Down to the banks in an old mule car
She took a flatboat across the shallow
Left me in my tears to drown
socked it to me, mama
When you said goodbye (bye)
So please walk on by (walk on)
Make believe you never see the tears I cry (walk on)
So do me a favor
away
Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move
You
When you're weary, you're feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just
embrace your loss, I am God
I wash my hands, I said my grace, what more do you want from me?
Tears of a clown, guess I'm not all what is meant to be
eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
I close my eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
by hand in hand
With another guy
I just could not stop those big tears
Falling from my eyes
The high tides coming in
Oh no, no, no, no
I can't
by hand in hand
With another guy
I just could not stop those big tears
Falling from my eyes
The high tides coming in
Oh no, no, no, no
I can't
in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you
So though
Discuss these when you see the tears from my eyes by muddy waters Lyrics with the community:
