If You Ever Leave

As the psychedelic cowboy left impressions On a half empty barroom he just played And the hippie girl from Austin waited patiently In the alley to fulfill the plans they made They drove the Studebaker toward the sunrise And pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel The sky glowed like mescaline around them As they promised love no love song could fulfill If you ever leave, I'm going with you Words whispered softly in the night We may have been high when we wrote it in the sky But I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die A wild painted pony crossed the highway An omen that we both thought was good Like a morning lullaby or an eagle as she flies Signs we could have not misunderstood If you ever leave, I'm going with you Words whispered softly in the night We may have been high when we wrote it in the sky But I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die Now the years twist us like two broken arrows But our symphony still plays a sweet refrain Just lofty love and laughter we gave into Two old weathered hearts that dared to dream If you ever leave, I'm going with you Words whispered softly in the night We may have been high when we wrote it in the sky But I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die Oh, I'll keep that promise with me 'til I die
