Lyrics Denton, Texas - Damien Jurado

Denton, Texas

She walked in with sadness in her eyes
I could tell she’d been sleeping with the stars
Well, hello, I’m dawn, yes, I’ve seen you around
I just live down from here
She has a dad she doesn’t know
Who sends her letters with no return address
I don’t know his name, he don’t know my face
I am better off this way
On the weekends, I drive her into town
In a car that I borrowed from my mom
She makes hotel beds where the sidewalks end
And I wait for her to come home, please come home
The one day, she finally stops coming around
My best friend said she probably moved out of town
Not a letter was sent, not a phone call was made
And I hope she comes back here someday
