Savannah I loved you like my own though I never Never never could make you mine I loved you like my own though I never Never never could Her eyes so hard and blue And I never could break through The lights were flickering Down where the cicadas sing But I knew you were the ghost That sails out of the coast (Savannah) I loved you like my own though I never Never never could make you mine I loved you like my own though I never Never never could Her eyes so hard and blue And I never could break through You eased my mind for a while Long enough to steal my heart Until eastern seaboard storms Held you as we fell apart (Savannah) I loved you like my own though I never Never never could make you mine I loved you like my own though I never Never never could Her eyes so hard and blue And I never could break through But I knew you were the ghost That sails out of the coast (Savannah) I loved you like my own though I never Never never could make you mine I loved you like my own though I never Never never could Her eyes so hard and blue But I never could break through (Savannah) (Savannah) (Savannah) Savannah
