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

I sleep out in the desert

Under the stars above

And keep making an effort

To wander in love

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

Come out West and see

The best it’ll could be

I know you won’t stay permanently

But come out West and see
