Big Dallas Sky Lyrics

In all those deserted farms I searched for you
In the driving rain most nights feeling like a ghost
Moving unseen and through every street of dreams
Then I saw you one day laughing under that big Dallas sky

After you went away I thought I'd never see your face again
Ships that pass in the night
Thought I'd make my way up north, go get a steady job
Work with my hands if the occasion called

But the West Texas wind
Kept calling me back
Through China-town and up the East River
To that big Dallas sky

I knew I'd find you in a bar some place
Pretending you never knew the stranger at the door
But the other customers were wise to that game
I knew you'd come running sooner or later

But not because of my sweet longing arms
And not because of the way I held you that night

Steve Hackett experienced his first studio sessions as guitarist on Quiet World's only album, The Road, in 1970. He achieved fame as a member of the progressive rock band Genesis, with whom he played between 1971 and 1977, when he left to pursue his solo career full time.

He released his first solo album, Voyage of the Acolyte, in 1975 while still with Genesis, and has maintained a steady output since. He is a distinctive and versatile guitarist who also performs classical concerts and has released five classical albums in addition to many rock, progressive, and blues albums. He participated in the 1986 formation of GTR with Steve Howe.

Hackett's tours alternate between acoustic performances (often accompanied by his brother John Hackett (flute) and Roger King (keyboards) as the Steve Hackett Acoustic Trio) and more rock-oriented performances.

In 2013, Hackett teamed up with bass player Chris Squire, founding member of Yes, to form Squackett.
