Waltz Across Texas Tonight Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

The wind can blow cold
It moans and it cries
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain
You′ll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name

You′ve been on a road that just don't seem to end
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend
You′ve crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
So many rivers and so much to learn
So many bridges and so much to learn


But the moon is so full
The stars are so bright
And my hand is steady
My touch is light
Look in my eyes
Hold on real tight
And I′ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

We both have known hard luck
And love that′s gone wrong
When the ghosts take the shadows
And the night takes too long
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we′re gone
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone

And the moon is so full
The stars are so bright
And my hand is steady
My touch is light
Look in my eyes
Hold on real tight
And I′ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight


Look in my eyes
Hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I′ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
