    Emmylou Harris

    Lyrics: (Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris)

    the wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
    when it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
    but if you listen tonight on that high lonely plain
    you’ll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
    you’ll just hear my voice as it calls out your name

    you’ve been on a road that just don’t seem to end
    where that broken old heart of yours won’t ever mend
    you’ve crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
    so many rivers and so much to learn
    so many bridges and so much to learn

    but the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
    and my hand is steady, my touch is light
    look in my eyes, hold on real tight
    and I’ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
    I’ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

    we both have known hard luck and love that’s gone wrong
    when the ghosts take the shadows and the night takes too long
    we folded our cards when the hand wasn’t strong
    but that wheel will keeps spinning long after we’re gone
    yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we’re gone

    and the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
    and my hand is steady, my touch is light
    look in my eyes, hold on real tight
    and I’ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
    I’ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

    look in my eyes, hold on real tight
    and I’ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
    I’ll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
