one of my fav tracks on this album!

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 you took
from the first breath pulled...to the last shovelful
and the closing of the book

CHORUS:
Away to the River
Away to the Sea
Away to a better place of peace
well, 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

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