The best it'll ever be
I know you won't stay permanently
But come out West and see
Climb up on a rock
And stretch out in the sun
And close my eyes and let
My imagination run
I'm tracing your initials in the shining sand
I'm counting out the days til I see you again
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.
I look off in the distance
Blow a kiss and wave
A thousand miles between us
Disappear some day.
I watch as all the starlings
Fly in from the North
The beating of the winds
Echoes the beating of my heart
I sleep out in the desert
Under the stars above
And keep making an effort
To wander in love.
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.
Come out West and see
The best it'll could be
I know you won't stay permanently
But come out West and see
Come out West and see The best it'll ever be I know you won't stay permanently But come out West and see Climb up on a rock And stretch out in the sun And close my eyes and let My imagination run I'm tracing your initials in the shining sand I'm counting out the days til I see you again 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. I look off in the distance Blow a kiss and wave A thousand miles between us Disappear some day. I watch as all the starlings Fly in from the North The beating of the winds Echoes the beating of my heart I sleep out in the desert Under the stars above And keep making an effort To wander in love. 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. Come out West and see The best it'll could be I know you won't stay permanently But come out West and see Explain Request ×
