Lucinda Williams
West
[Verse 1]
Come out west and see
The best that it could be
And I know you won't stay permanently
But come out west and see
I climb up on the rocks
And stretch out in the sun
And I close my eyes and let
My imagination run
I'm tracing your initials
In the shining sand
And I'm counting up the days
'Til I see you again

[Chorus]
And who knows what the future holds
Or where the cards may fall
If you don't come out west and see
You'll never know at all

[Verse 2]
I look off in the distance
Blow a kiss and wave
A thousand miles between us
Will disappear someday
I watch as all the starlings
Fly in from the north
The beating in their wings, it
Echoes the beating of my heart
I sleep out in the desert
Under the stars above
And I keep making an effort
To wander in your love
[Chorus]
And who knows what the future holds
Or where the cards may fall
But if you don't come out west and see
You'll never know at all

[Outro]
Come out west and see
The best that it could be
Come out west and see
