|
I hear the distant thundering of iron hoof and nail
|
In memories of yesteryears gone by and growing frail
|
Yet in these fading clouds of dust one noble brute stands true
|
A gallant steed of blazing white upon whose back I flew
|
|
My dreams lie on the prairie
|
Where I hear the coyotes wail
|
When the sun has set
|
I ride each night |
With Stardusk on the trail
|
|
Fate blessed me with that loyal friend who lent me grace and style
|
Who carried me through thick and thin across the endless miles
|
This mount of strength and elegance rose eighteen hands from ground
|
And never once in all our trials did Stardusk let me down
|
|
My dreams lie on the prairie
|
Where I hear the coyotes wail
|
When the sun has set
|
I ride each night |
With Stardusk on the trail
|
|
Instrumental |
|
I've stayed now many years alone and prayed to do my best
|
I know the day is coming when they'll lay me to my rest
|
As God is in His Heaven when I ride beyond the pale
|
I'll gallop through those Pearly Gates with Stardusk on the trail
|
|
My dreams lie on the prairie
|
Where I hear the coyotes wail
|
When the sun has set
|
I ride each night |
With Stardusk on the trail
|
|
When the sun has set
|
I ride each night |
With Stardusk
|
On
the trail |
