lyrics

COWBOY SONG words/music: bill mallonee

Like a cowboy song........from a time bygone
long on brighter days
when the melody...gotta lil' buried
and the good things...they just fade

from the pure white dress...to the long black veil
to the broken paths ya' took
from the first breath pulled.....to the last shovelful
and the closing of the book

CHORUS:
Away to a River
Away to a Sea
Away to a better place of peace
We'll just wait
We'll just wait...and see

In between the seams...of the requiems
i saw you in the sun
And God's last Word...sweetest poem i've heard
in the warm fields where you now run

CHORUS

Like a cowboy song...sung out soft but strong
all forlorn in the night
God's......grace....is an open space
and we were all bathed in light
