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

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
