Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's beautiful out today I wish you could take me upstate To the little place you would tell me about When you'd sense that I'd want to escape [Verse 2] Texas is a land-locked state It's a little bit far away From the water, from the home that I've wanted to make It somehow, in the city, you make it there and you make it Anywhere, anywhere But I've been anywhere and it's not what I want I wanna be still with you [Verse 3] You keep your socks on in bed Keep our hearth warm "See the trees' shadows lie in black pools in the lawns" You're the breeze in my Austin nights You're the breeze in my Austin nights You're the breeze in my Austin nights
