Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away
She'll walk 'til she
finds him her darlin' her stray
But the river's in flood and the roads are awash
And the
bridges break up in the panic of loss
And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go
He's gone like the summer gone like the snow
And the crickets are breaking her heart with
their song
As the day caves in and the night is all wrong
Did she dream it was he who
went galloping past
And bent down the fern broke open the grass
And printed the mud with
the well-hammered shoe
That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth
And
although he goes grazin' a minute away
She tracks him all night she tracks him all day
And
she's blind to his presence except to compare
Her injury here with his punishment there
Then at home on a branch on a high stream
A songbird sings out so suddenly
And
the sun is warm and the soft winds ride
On a willow tree by the riverside
An the
world is sweet and world is wide
And he's there where the light and the darkness divide
And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy
And he steps on the moon when he
paws at the sky
And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame
He longs to be lost
she longs for the same
And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass
To roll
and to feed in the sweet mountain grass
Or he'll make a break for the high plateau
Where there's nothing above and noting below
It's time for their burden the whip and the
spur
Will she ride with him or will he ride with her
So she binds herself to her
galloping steed
