Lyrics Rio Grande - Ronnie Lane

Rio Grande

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
