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
And the Gulf of Mexico...
