Intro

 The Texas coastline hold her

 close just like a lady

And in their time they've

 weathered a storm or two.

The river feed her waters like I

 feed your memory.

The deeper I go the more I'm

 turning blue.

 The sandy beaches drift in time

 and the changing tide I know

 won't bring me back to yesterday

 and the Gulf of Mexico.

 The sails out on the water will

 come take you away.

When your ship comes in I know

 its time to go

and the waves along the seawall

 tell me nothings here to stay

and no man is an island but I'm

 still all alone.

 I'm weighing anchors from the past

 as the south winds start to blow

 sailing out of yesterday

 and the Gulf of Mexico.

 I'll be sailing out of yesterday
