My Love Is the Bay (feat. Jobi Riccio)

Sue, she was German girl with nothing to her name
She made her living telling stories and giving out her gaze
One day walking with a friend she saw a Texas boy and laughed
I'm gonna marry that man someday
I swear I'll run away

They met again by lucky chance or fate
Who really cares
She knew English, Joel was lonely
So she took him right upstairs
Sue was 19, her mama's scared about a cowboy and her child
Mom, I love this man today
And I'll take him to the bay

I'll take him to the bay
Like the moon not shying away
You wonder if I'm bluffing
We may never know
But he's my sunny day
I'll take him to the bay
Like a Lakeway garden yard
I'm writing a poem with too many words
My love is the bay in Earth

Houston rains like a bitch, she said
But it's home if I'm with you
Raising kids was not our plan
But we're working; it's what we do
My father told me always thank the stars before where you wake
My mother eyes are dark and wide
And she loves him 'til she's gray

I'll take him to the bay
Like the moon not shying away
You wonder if I'm bluffing
We may never know
But he's my sunny day
I'll take him to the bay
Like a Lakeway garden yard
I'm writing a poem with too many words
My love is the bay in Earth

I'll take him to the bay
Like the moon not shying away
You wonder if I'm bluffing
We may never know
But he's my sunny day
I'll take him to the bay
Like a Lakeway garden yard
I'm writing a poem with too many words
My love is the bay in Earth
