Beneath the street lights in The Stockyards
I pulled you close
We danced there on the sidewalk
'cause all the bars were closed
Moving to a melody
That no one else but us
Would ever hear
Gave a fiver to a Mexican, his name was Julio
""Gracias,"" he said
And handed you a single rose
Through the midnight on your face
You asked me if I knew a place
To disappear
You said it's time we get away from here
Leave our worries
And our troubles
Behind us
In the rear view mirror
I could take you to the coast
We could both get on a boat
And sail
Or I know you love the snow
And I know a place to go
In Vail
Or maybe we could make a home
In the next town
That we end up going through
'Cause you know that I don't care for where we go
I dont give a damn for what we do
As long as I'm there with you
Beneath the painted purple desert sky
I pulled you close
I shouted at the heavens that
I'd never let you go
You laughed
And called me crazy
I laughed
And said ""I thought I made that clear?""
There was stillness in the nightfall
Sand between our toes
The angels took the night off
So we went chasing ghosts
When I told you that I loved you
Won't forget the way you smiled
From ear to ear
You said there ain't no place you'd rather be
But here
And you're glad we left our troubles
Behind us
In the rear view mirror
When we headed to the coast
We both got on a boat
And sailed
We made love and watched it snow
At a cabin no one knows
In Vail
Then you said ""let's make a home
In the next town
That we end up going through""
But you know that I don't care for where we go
I don't give a damn for what we do
As long as I'm there with you
So let's head out to the coast
Let's just get on a boat
And sail
Build a life as we grow old
At a cabin no one knows
In Vail
'Cause I'm in to make a home
In any town
We end up going through
Cause you know that I don't care for where we go
I don't give a damn for what we do
As long as I'm there with you
Anywhere will do
As long as I'm there with you"
