The Boy From Wichita
Music & Lyrics by Kate Murray
c 2002
Sometime past yesterday, I knew him in the way, a girl knows the best friend of her lover. He was so strong so tall. Some said a quiet stonewall, but I knew him better than I let on. Sometimes there's silence in a song.
The first night I kissed him he swore it was all me, that I led him to the water to take a taste and see. There'd never be another. Not one that would compare. But in the end it was my heart that bore the final tear.
Chorus:
He was the boy, the boy from Wichita. Sparkle in his eye, blue diamonds without flaw. He would cloak me in his arms and ask me would I stay, and the way that he held me close.I should have never gone away.
I remember oh so well the last night in his arms. Girls wish for such a night of wonder.Somehow I missed the signs - he would have been all mine. But he knew me better than he let on. Sometimes we're meant to travel on.
Chorus:
He was the boy, the boy from Wichita. Sparkle in his eye, blue diamonds without flaw. He would cloak me in his arms and ask me would I stay, and the way that he held me close.I should have never gone away.
