Ocean of stars
Why've I gone so far?
I miss my home
I hear those engines drone
The runway is set
Let's move this f*cking jet
I have to go
Despite all sleet and snow
Chorus:
Just a late night horse leaving Dallas
With a portrait hung in velvet
Just a three night run at the palace
And I never in my life felt so alone
I worked for the show
Stars would come and go
I'd work the lights
I even swept some nights
But now I'm host
That's worthy of a toast
Don't you agree, my little honey bee?
Chorus:
Just a late-night king leaving Dallas
With a portrait hung in velvet
Just a three-night-run at the palace
I'll be at 17th and Broadway by tonight
So far away from all these wonders
Even as the roulette spins
I was a escorted 17 miles
I came upon All Winds Bend
Even in dreams of life still you call
Through the tall grass and the weeds
I know I'll never be the same on this road
To Calgary
Chorus:
Just a late night horse leaving Dallas
With a portrait hung in velvet
Just a three night run at the palace
And I never in my life felt so alone
And I never in my life felt so alone
