Footprints on the sidewalk    Crush by me in the night   The tavern signs on this old street    Are stepping stones of life   I walk and walk and search for you    Half stoned and all alone   How much longer can it be    To dawn in San Antone      Neon painted pictures    Flash red and green and blue   I seem to feel you press my back    And draw me close to you   Memories that break my mind    Hurt deep when I'm alone   As the night walks slowly    To dawn in San Antone      I may let a strange girl love me    Just to keep me from the cold   But when I'm with another    Your mem'ry's what I hold      I still have the rosebud    I've bought you for your hair   A half smoked cigarette I saved   Was one I let you share   Time went so fast when you were mine    But now that I'm alone   There's nothing more that comes so slow    As dawn in San Antone      There's nothing more that comes so slow    As dawn in San Antone...
