Blaze of the Night

down the open trail where the tall grass is swayed i carry my bundle through the light of day from dawn till the sun dips low in the sky i'm in the old fences let the hours slip by hands callous from labor hard heavy with dreams chasing the horizon unraveling scenes of a life left behind in the quiet of night where your shadow still lingers soft in my sight oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet where the wildflowers bloom on the hill in the arms of the morning time standing still through valleys of green where the sparrows take flight from the firelight boots once worn from the miles soul searching for peace in the rustle of leaves and the earth's sweet release your letter took close words fading like rain pulling me onward easing the pain and if the stars call me further from home i'll follow their glow through the phone but deep in my bones i know we'll align like roots in the soil yours forever with mine oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet where the wildflowers bloom on the hill in the arms of the morning time standing still down the open trail as the shadows grow long i'll stand by your side where the wildflowers bloom on the hill in the arms of the morning time standing still oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet down the open trail as the shadows grow long i'll stand by your side where the wildflowers bloom on the hill in the arms of the morning time standing still oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet oh the river runs steady carving stone through the years who in a way sorrows dry and old tears will meet
