Lyrics

“The Gulf”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
You’re too far to reach by car; airplanes make me nervous,
And I never took a train ride in my life.
Perhaps I’m scared to take that dare my heart is always making,
But I will blame the distance that divides.

PRECHORUS
A promise made is a promise broke,
Excuse all my excuses,
So I’ll just say that I’m afraid to fly.

CHORUS I
But if they ever build a bridge across the Gulf of Mexico,
Then I’ll drive that thousand miles to get to Galveston.
But bridges break when hurricanes and tidal waves may blow,
So I’ll grow fins and swim across the ocean.

VERSE II
It’s always tough, in Florida, to beat the rush-hour traffic,
And Alabama’s troopers slow things down.
That Mississippi River, and the Louisiana Delta,
Might just flood the roads up on my way of town

~PRECHORUS~

~CHORUS I~

BRIDGE
Love is a ride on the edge of the sky 
On the wings of a pure white dove.
In spite of it all, I’m so scared I might fall. 
Can you make me brave enough?

~CHORUS I~ 

CHORUS II
If they ever build that bridge across the Gulf of Mexico,
Then I’ll ride on down the miles to get to Galveston.
But hearts can break when hurricanes of love begin to blow,
So I’ll grow wings and fly across the ocean.
