Denton Tx Lyrics

Damien Jurado Denton Tx

She walked in with sadness in her eyes
I could tell she'd been sleeping with the stars
'Well hello I'm dawn...'
'Yes I've seen you around...'
'I just live down from here...'

She has a dad she doesn't know
Who sends her letters with no return address...
'I don't know his name...'
'He don't know my face...'
'I am better off this way...'

On the weekends I drive her into town
In a car that I borrowed from my mom
She makes hotel beds
Where the sidewalks end
And I wait for her to come home...
Please come home


The one day she finally stops coming around
My best friend said she probably moved out of town
Not a letter was sent...
Not a phone call was made
And I hope she comes back here
Someday
