Footprints on the sidewalk 

Crush by me in the night

The tavern signs on this old street 

Are stepping stones of life

I walk and walk and search for you 

Half stoned and all alone

How much longer can it be 

To dawn in San Antone



Neon painted pictures 

Flash red and green and blue

I seem to feel you press my back 

And draw me close to you

Memories that break my mind 

Hurt deep when I'm alone

As the night walks slowly 

To dawn in San Antone



I may let a strange girl love me 

Just to keep me from the cold

But when I'm with another 

Your mem'ry's what I hold



I still have the rosebud 

I've bought you for your hair

A half smoked cigarette I saved

Was one I let you share

Time went so fast when you were mine 

But now that I'm alone

There's nothing more that comes so slow 

As dawn in San Antone



There's nothing more that comes so slow 

As dawn in San Antone...
