Would anyone happen to have the lyrics to the Sparklehorse song, Galveston? I bought it on i-Tunes so I don’t have the liner notes. Thanks!
GALVESTON
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannon flashing
And I clean my gun
And I dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there, looking out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she’s crying
Before I see your sea birds flying
In the sun, at Galveston
—Jimmy Webb (He’s from my hometown, Colton CA)
Thank you so much. Did he write the song before or after the hurricane destroyed the pier?
