The Texas coastline hold her

Close just like a lady

And in their time they've

Weathered a storm or two.

The river feed her waters like

I feed your memory.

The deeper I go the more I'm turning blue.



The sandy beaches drift in time

And the changing tide I know

Won't bring me back to yesterday

And the Gulf of Mexico.

The sails out on the water will

Come take you away.



When your ship comes in I know its time to go

And the waves along the seawall

Tell me nothings here to stay

And no man is an island but I'm still all alone.



I'm weighing anchors from the past

As the south winds start to blow

Sailing out of yesterday

And the Gulf of Mexico.

I'll be sailing out of yesterday

And the Gulf of Mexico.
