Shipmates and Cheyenne

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
