Goodbye Texas Creek
(Rich Mullins)
I’d make an appeal to your conscience...but, that would be no use.
I hear this is the way that you want it. I’ll take it this way, too.
Maybe I could kill you. Maybe I could take you home.
I’ll just leave you still to be alone.
I’ll make myself a new melody...a new rhythm...I’ll write me a new song.
I hope I’ll be forgiven when I am gone.
But, now my dreams lie shattered, laying in pieces around my feet.
But, it don’t really matter now to me.
Good bye Texas Creek
Sure glad I came here; and I surely hate to leave
Don’t ever ask me why the times we love so slip us by.
I know you’ll keep on rollin’ on, unchanged when I came
And the very same way when I’m gone.
But, did you want it that way?
So, I’ll make me a new rhythm…I’ll write me a new song.
I hope I’ll be forgiven tomorrow when I’m gone.
And, all my dreams lie shattered in broken pieces around my feet.
But, that don’t really matter now to me.
Goodbye Texas Creek.
Sure glad I came here and I surely hate to leave.
Don’t you ever ask me why that the people that we love so pass us by
I know they’ll keep rollin’ on
Unchanged when I came and the very same way when I’m gone.
But, did you want it that way?
And, did you want it that way”
And, did you want it that way?
Good bye Texas Creek
Sure glad I came here; and I surely hate to leave you.
I’ll never, ever know why
That the times we love so pass us by
But, I know you’ll keep rollin’ on
Unchanged when I came and the very same way when I’m gone.
But, did you want it that way?
