Big Dallas Sky Composer(s): Julian Colbeck; Hugo Degenhardt; Steve Hackett; Doug Sinclair Performer(s): Steve Hackett
In all those deserted farms I searched for you In the driving rain most nights feeling like a ghost Moving unseen and through every street of dreams Then I saw you one day laughing under that big Dallas sky
After you went away I thought Id never see your face again Ships that pass in the night Thought Id make my way up north, go get a steady job Work with my hands if the occasion called
But the West Texas wind Kept calling me back Through China-town and up the East River To that big Dallas sky
I knew Id find you in a bar some place Pretending you never knew the stranger at the door But the other customers were wise to that game I knew youd come running sooner or later
But not because of my sweet longing arms And not because of the way I held you that night
But because of that big Dallas sky
