Rio Esperanza - Little Feat

Texas to tennessee blue

Highway to highway

Just to get back to you

With the barren winds blowin'

A jealous moon 'cross the plains

I’ll only be runnin' and callin' your name

I should have never left you

After what i held close

With the hours slippin' by

From the one i love most

Chasing days that take flight

And the mist from my eyes

I die a little each day with you so far away

Oh my darlin' i’ve cried these many miles

A kiss in the shadows, a whispered memory

I’ll be waiting, all of my life, only my only (only my lonely)

Rio esperanza, it’s the river of hope

There’s a place in my heart where you’ll always be

Where the shallows run long, and the driftin' is free

Oh my darlin' i’ve cried these many miles

A kiss in the shadows, a whispered memory

I’ll be waiting, all of my life, only my only (only my lonely)

Rio esperanza, it’s the river of hope

Across windswept hills your voice calms to caress me

Like a lover stealing glances

I can’t wait to hold you

See the light flicker softly

In a blue silverscape

It’s such sweet surrender (and) i’ve come home again

Oh my darling

A kiss in the shadows

A whispered memory

I’ll be waiting

All of my life

Only my only

Rio esperanza

It’s the river of hope
