Leaving of Liverpool

What Might Have Been

The Storm (instrumental)

The Leaving Of Liverpool
 
Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage
Mersey River, fare thee well
well I am bound for California
but I know that I'll return someday
 
Chorus:
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
 
Oh I have signed on the Yankee sailin' ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that she’s a floatin’ shame
 
Chorus
 
Oh I have sailed w/ this Burgess once before
And I think that I know him quite well
For if a man is a sailor, he can get along
If not, he's in a floating Hell
 
Chorus
 
The sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish that I could be thain
Because I know it will be some long long time
Before we see you again

What Might Have Been

Little Texas

Sure I think about you now and then,

But it’s been a long, long time.

I’ve got a new life now,

And I’ve moved on,

So when you cross my mind…

I try not to think about

what might have been

‘Cause that was then,

and we have taken different roads.

We can’t go back again.

There’s no use giving in.

No, we’ll never know

What might have been.

We can talk about this all night long,

wondering why love didn’t last.

Yes, these might be the best days

We will ever know,

But we can leave them in the past.

So try not to think about

what might have been

‘Cause that was then,

and we have taken different roads.

We can’t go back again.

There’s no use giving in.

No, we’ll never know

What might have been.

The same old look in your eyes,

It’s a beautiful night,

I’m so tempted to stay.

But too much time has gone by,

We should just say “goodnight”,

And turn and walk away.

I try not to think about

what might have been

‘Cause that was then,

and we have taken different roads.

We can’t go back again.

There’s no use giving in.

No, we’ll never know

What might have been.
