He watched as the rain Misted over the railroad tracks... On the back of the 917 heading out And it ain't coming back With the wind in her hair And dreams in her eyes She's goes gliding away... And he finds himself out In the west Texas night all alone... She blew in from the gulf On a wing and a prayer So long he had been on his own And then now she was there... With the world in her eyes And fire on her lips He goes falling away Never knowing how much A man leaves behind when he falls... (chorus) He could still taste her kiss He could still feel her touch He could still hear her say Boy it's all way too much... And don't you get crazy Don't you be sad Or forget the times we had The times we had... And the earth it would tremble The sky was ablaze As their bodies they melted together And so did the nights into days... And her scent like a memory Of some old love song It just drifts down the hall Nothing feels quite like love When a love feels like nothing at all... (chorus) He could still taste her kiss He could still feel her touch He could still hear her say Boy it's all way too much... And don't you get crazy Don't you be sad Or forget the times we had The times we had... (bridge) And the nights they get longer and longer Wondering just where she is Wondering just who she's holding tonight... (chorus) He could still taste her kiss He could still feel her touch He could still hear her say Boy it's all way too much... And don't you get crazy Don't you be sad Or forget the times we had The times we had... to fade
