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
