Down the Winding Trail

Down the winding trail where the shadows play I carry your memory through the fading day I walk these hills with calloused hands and dreams Chasing horizons where the wild river gleams Left behind the fields we tilled under endless skies Your laughter lingers like the morning soft sighs Oh, the heart wanders far but never forgets The warmth of your touch in the evening's quiet death Through storms and the calm Your name calls me home in this endless road I'm never alone Nights by the campfire stars spelling your name My men mend broken fences play life's weary game The earth holds our stories in roots deep and true But without you beside me what good is the view? One day I'll turn back, cross that final divide Leave the wandering life, let the old aches subside Find you in the valley where the first light breaks Heal these tired bones for both our sakes Oh, the heart wanders far but never forgets The warmth of your touch in the evening's quiet death Through storms and the calm Your name calls me home in this endless road I'm never alone Down the winding trail where our paths will align I'll come back to you in the sweet breath of time I'll come back to you in the sweet breath of time I'll come back to you in the sweet breath of time I'll come back to you in the sweet breath of time I'll come back to you in the sweet breath of time
