Rio Grande - Ronnie Lane

Well I was thinking

I was thinking about the time we crossed the border

The stars in my ears

the moon beating down on the water

Said I was thinking

I was thinking

about how young we were and fearless

to have and to hold that moment

so old in the time left

Oh I had it once in the palm of my hand

just like quicksilver

Yeah I had it once

when I looked by the shores with your daughter

And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother

Now everybody is calling

and why did we go across the Rio Grande

Said I was thinking

I was trying to catch the way it was between us

Seems like all that is calm

went down like a stone in the water

Oh I had it once like a light in my life will last forever

Oh I had it once

when I looked by the shore’s with your daughter

And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother

Now everybody is calling why did we go across the Rio Grande

And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother

And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother
