Lyrics

Come out west and see
The best that it could be
I know you won't stay permanently
But come out west and see

I climb up on a rock
And stretch out in the sun
And close my eyes and let
My imagination run

And tracing your initials
In the shiny sand
I'm counting up 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
And blow a kiss your way
The thousand miles between us
Will disappear some day

I watch as all the starling
Fly in from the north
The beating of their wings
Echoes the beating of my heart

I sleep out in the desert
Under the stars above
And keep making an effort
To wander in your 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 that it could be
I know you won't stay permanently
But come out west and see
