Palomino Gold

Eyes like the pools of the Frio River
Where it ripples over smooth grey stones
Hair that shone like your Palomino
Silhouetted when the fields turn gold
And you show me
Shades of beauty I had missed
When I come here I always see you like this

Frio River blue, Palomino gold
Crossin' my mind like these white rock roads
Mem'ries of a love too wild to hold
Frio River blue
Palomino gold

Well, the stars burn bright on a moonless night
Black water goes slippin' past the bridge
Smell the rain roll in on a cool west wind
Hear the coyotes yippin' on the ridge
And I think it might be time to sell this place
And go somewhere where I might forget your face

Frio River blue, Palomino gold
Crossin' my mind like these white rock roads
Mem'ries of a love too wild to hold
Frio River blue
Palomino gold

If I had the chance to see how much you've changed
Would your hair blow free when you lift your eyes?
Would they be the same?

Frio River blue
Palomino gold
Frio River blue
Palomino gold

Frio River blue, Palomino gold
Crossin' my mind like these white rock roads
Mem'ries of a love too wild to hold
Frio River blue
Palomino gold
