[Verse 1: Stevie Nicks]
There's a plane, it's headed for London
Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
Oh, I can't stop it

[Verse 2: Stevie Nicks]
There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
And in that moment, what will he think then
When I can't touch him

[Chorus: Stevie Nicks & Natalie Maines]
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home

[Verse 3: Natalie Maines]
In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights, trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter
But he might never
No he might never
[Chorus: Stevie Nicks & Natalies Maines]
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home

[Bridge: Stevie Nicks & Natalies Maines]
Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know I'm holdin' on
And that won't change no matter where he's gone

[Chorus: Stevie Nicks & Natalies Maines]
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home

[Outro]
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
