When I First Came Here

(Dwight Yoakam)

When I first came here
And I was empty, lost and weak
When I first came here
In your arms I found relief
When I first came here
And I was empty, lost and weak
When I first came here
In your arms I found relief.

When I first came here
I was searching for a friend
When I first came here
It was your heart that took me in
When I first came here
I was searching for a friend
When I first came here
It was your heart that took me in.

Though I wasn't wrong to long for your beauty
And my eyes were not blind to trust your smile
What they once never showed
Were the endless moments alone
That you'd leave behind.

--- Instrumental ---

No, they once never showed
These ceaseless moments alone
Are what you'd leave behind.

When I first came here
Your lips were where each thought begun
When I first came here
My craving for you knew no end
When I first came here
Your lips were where each thought begun
When I first came here
My craving for you wouldn't end.

--- Instrumental ---

When I first came here
Each morning we woke spent and weak
When I first came here
We seldon used our bed to sleep
When I first came here
Each woke each morning spent and weak
When I first came here
Our bed was seldon used our for sleep.

When I first came here
I fell victim to your touch
When I first came here
I sought and craved it's constant clutch
When I first came here
I fell victim to your touch
When I first came here
I sought and craved it's constant clutch.

When I first came here
If my memory serves me right
When I first came here
You shared each breath I drew all night
When I first came here
If my memory serves me right
When I first came here
You shared each breath through every night...
