 <\/p>\n

Say a prayer for the cowboy, his mare's run away<\/span><\/p>\n

And he'll walk ’til he finds her, his darling, his stray<\/span><\/p>\n

But the river's in flood and the roads are awash<\/span><\/p>\n

And the bridges break up in the panic of loss<\/span><\/p>\n

And there's nothing to follow, there's nowhere to go<\/span><\/p>\n

She's gone like the summer, gone like the snow<\/span><\/p>\n

And the crickets are breaking his heart with their song<\/span><\/p>\n

As the day caves in and the night is all wrong<\/span><\/p>\n

Did he dream, was it she who went galloping past?<\/span><\/p>\n

And bent down the fern, broke open the grass<\/span><\/p>\n

And printed the mud with the iron and the gold<\/span><\/p>\n

That he nailed to her feet when he was the lord<\/span><\/p>\n

And although she goes grazing a minute away<\/span><\/p>\n

He tracks her all night, he tracks her all day<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, blind to her presence, except to compare<\/span><\/p>\n

His injury here with her punishment there<\/span><\/p>\n

Then at home on a branch, in the highest tree<\/span><\/p>\n

A songbird sings out, so suddenly<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, the sun is warm and the soft winds ride<\/span><\/p>\n

On the willow trees by the river side<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, the world is sweet, the world is wide<\/span><\/p>\n

And she's there where the light and the darkness divide<\/span><\/p>\n

And the steam's coming off her, she's huge and she's shy<\/span><\/p>\n

And she steps on the moon when she paws at the sky<\/span><\/p>\n

And she comes to his hand but she's not really tame<\/span><\/p>\n

She longs to be lost, he longs for the same<\/span><\/p>\n

And she'll bolt and she'll plunge through the first open pass<\/span><\/p>\n

To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass<\/span><\/p>\n

Or she'll make a break for the high plateau<\/span><\/p>\n

Where there's nothing above and there's nothing below<\/span><\/p>\n

And it's time for the burden, it's time for the whip<\/span><\/p>\n

Will she walk through the flame? Can he shoot from the hip?<\/span><\/p>\n

So he binds himself to the galloping mare<\/span><\/p>\n

And she binds herself to the rider there<\/span><\/p>\n

And there is no space but there's left and right<\/span><\/p>\n

And there is no time but there's day and night<\/span><\/p>\n

And he leans on her neck and he whispers low<\/span><\/p>\n

"Whither thou goest,I will go"<\/span><\/p>\n

And they turn as one and they head for the plain<\/span><\/p>\n

No need for the whip, ah, no need for the rein<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the clasp of this union, who fastens it tight?<\/span><\/p>\n

Who snaps it asunder the very next night?<\/span><\/p>\n

Some say the rider, some say the mare<\/span><\/p>\n

Or that love's like the smoke, beyond all repair<\/span><\/p>\n

But my darling says, "Leonard, just let it go by<\/span><\/p>\n

That old silhouette on the great Western sky\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

So I pick out a tune and they move right along<\/span><\/p>\n

And they're gone like the smoke<\/span><\/p>\n

And they're gone like this song<\/span><\/p>\n
