When Debbie's Back From Texas - Stina Nordenstam

When Debbie’s back from Texas

This is the last place he’ll be leaving

He’ll cross the courtyard

Smilingly open the gate

When Debbie’s back from Texas

He’ll be moving back to Greenwich

It takes you no time

You just follow the bridge

Indian summer evening

Let the shadows backslide

When the pond is drained

You think you can walk on the ground

They call it trust

I brought all that I needed

I took all that was mine

I could think of a few more

Things to believe in

But I don’t know about love

She’ll answer you

Like lovers do

Like lovers do

She’ll answer you

She’ll answer you

Like lovers do

Like lovers do

You’ll try to figure out

What life would be without her

I’m standing by the window

Suddenly feeling so small

Cars go by and life

I feel like I could try just a little more

I’m a true believer

And no lover of starshine

I know where this is leading

This is my last chance

She’ll answer you

Like lovers do

Like lovers do

She’ll answer you

She’ll answer you

Like lovers do

Like lovers do

Like lovers do
