It's a page from my life set to music.
Lyrics
GALVESTON
Don't know all the details, but, it comes up from time to time
When you watch her speak of Galveston, there's a passion in her eyes
Deep within her soul, she wants to keep that door closed
The only thing I'll ever know, is she wasn't asked to go
Wishing she'd been there and still to this day
Like something left to prove, we packed up, drove away
Comin' out of Dallas, the radio played our song
It takes two to make a thing go right, we'd be there before long
Just out of Houston, she saw a comforting sign
And said Hello Texas City, on your darkest day may the sun still shine
At the end of a rainbow we drove over the bay
And I prayed her haunting memories would be cast away
She wanted to see to ocean, watch the ships sail about the sea
She wanted to see the ocean with him, not me
But, that was before I met her and I didn't let her down
On Thanksgiving day she could be found, Down on Galveston
... Now I could finally see
Those haunted memories had been released
One simply pleasure, always in arms reach
Just beauty and the beach with mind and soul at ease
-solo-
She wanted to see to ocean, watch the ships sail about the sea
She wanted to see the ocean, this is where she's meant to be
If the ghosts could only see her, dancing in the sand
Us walking hand in hand...
As the waves come crashin' in, Down on Galveston
Without a soul around, the ocean the only sound
On Thanksgiving day she could be found, Down on Galveston
