West Lucinda Williams

Come out West and see
The best it'll ever be
I know you won't stay permanently
But come out West and see

Climb up on a rock
And stretch out in the sun
And close my eyes
And let my imagination run

I'm tracing your initials
In the shining sand
I'm counting out the days
Till I see you again

Who knows what the future holds
Or where the cards may fall?
But if you don't come out West and see
You'll never know at all

I look off in the distance
Blow a kiss and wave
A thousand miles between us
Will disappear someday

I watch as all the starlings
Fly in from the North
The beating of the winds
Echoes the beating of my heart
