The Promise

Come a little closer
Hold tight – grab my hand
Let’s run away together
To the lovely Rio Grande

We’ll follow down the current
Make our way through tough mesquite
I’ll keep you safe – I’ll keep you warm
And I’ll make sure we are discrete

No one will see us coming.
Only the Rio Grande will know
And I promise you the kindest stream
And easiest undertow

So come a little closer
Hold tight – grab my hand
Let’s run away together
To the lovely Rio Grande.
