Lyrics for Song: Shipmates and Cheyenne
Lyrics for Album: Windsong [1975]
Shipmates and Cheyenne, raindrops and crying
Haunt the dreams of an old, old man
Candles and church bells, laughter and farewells
Revolve in his thoughts like the wind
Stallions and blizzards, steelies and lizards
Drift in the meadows of time
No sense of progression, of age or direction
No meter, no form, no rhyme
I'll hold me one, just rising sun
Long after daylight is gone
I'll hold me one, just rising sun
Till my daylight and darkness is done
Kingdoms and cupboards, losers and lovers
And evenings of blackberry wine
Falling like sand, a memory of hands
And kisses and whispers and sighs
I'll hold me one, just rising sun
Long after daylight is gone
I'll hold me one, one more rising sun
Till my daylight and darkness is done
I'll hold me one, one more rising sun
