[Verse] Her boots struck a clock where the wild winds play She laughed like the sun while the shadows stayed With a six-string blur and a twist at her hips She left my heart in a dark eclipse [Chorus] Why she ran away I’ll never know Left me tangled in her undertow Her trail’s a story of blues untied I’m walking the chords she left behind [Verse 2] She whispered secrets in a smoky hum Her hand on my shoulder then she’d come undone Her eyes had the hue of a midnight flame But love danced away when the daylight came [Chorus] Why she ran away I’ll never know Left me stranded as the rivers flow The bounce in her step I can’t forget I play her shadow in this duet [Bridge] Her silhouette’s a ghost through Texas nights The moon wears her smile borrowed from the heights Her laughter lingers in the strings I strum The blur of her love still leaves me numb [Chorus] Why she ran away I’ll never know Her rhythm struck hard then let me go This worn-out blues guitar’s my friend Trying to chase the love I thought wouldn’t end
