Matagorda Bay Lyrics by James Nielson Watts She sleeps in in the morning, in her dreams shes lost I kinda touch her as she rustles, she is warm and soft I try not to wake her up, but I can tell, she is close enough. Getting through the day my thoughts I must deprive. Its kinda hard not to be thinking bout the sweetest greenest eyes; they lookin up into mine, sayin’ I want you. But you go on about it just the best that you can. You tell yourself it just don’t matter bout the place that your in. The line she made you walk began to wear down thin. I still think about a time before she went away. Like a night down on the beach down in Matagorda bay. Now every time I feel a cold breeze, I feel her warm embrace. And when I think about it now as if its all gone wrong. I get a fire in my body that just don’t belong. And there’s a question I ask myself, I hope, I pray, that I get wrong. Chorus - Lord I hope she is home when I get there. I think about it every single night it drives me crazy. Lord I hope she is home when I get there. The thought of her all alone I couldn’t bear. - Now you can't live your life with a broken heart It will eat at your soul and tear it all apart Time will speed up as soon as you depart from there Yea it comes out in words every now and again about how I could have done better or how it could have been, but remember again that line starts to wear down thin. Lord get me some place where know that im safe. Please tell me what to do so I don’t feel out of place. The woman drained my heart and left me nothin’ to replace inside. And I would live my life in hell just to know shes alright. She could end the world tomorrow and Ill still be on her side. Ill take nothing but a bunch of fussin’ and fightin for just one more good night. Cause I remember a time, before she went away. Was a night down on the beach down in Matagorda bay. Now every time I feel a cold breeze I feel her warm embrace. Chorus - Lord I hope she is home when I get there. I think about it every single night it drives me crazy. Lord I hope she is home when I get there. The thought of her all alone I couldn’t bear. Lord I hope that she is home when I get there. -
