In the Grand Way

In the grand way she loves me

The way she holds me close to rest with me

And to know she is my life to me

My empty days are done

My runnin' days are run

And for the first time I love the morning



Burning sundowns, colored autumn trees

Mountain rivers, country livers put my mind at ease

And to realize such perfect harmonies

I'm standin' in the dawn

Of a new day comin' on

And I'm lookin' for no tomorrow



I can still hear the lonely sound

The engines of a midnight freight train northward bound

And to feel my life slowly losing ground

I never quite understood

Though I see it for the good

And it seems like I've just been dreaming
