Lost, farewell Under this sinking sun In an ocean of sky Dust and bones Echoes of rusty guns I'm not too young to die Your love is a compa** rose Steadfast through this sand and stone Wind, carry these letters home to Joan Old memories come to life A last dance in this amber light Wind, carry these letters home tonight Spinning wheels Since i was just a boy With a traveling mind The bright moon steals The heart of orion's joy We trace a simple line All our days There was a song that played For you in my head All these things on my mind Now that i'm taking the time To write See these letters swirl Like a thousand white birds In the sky up above her I'm a flag unfurled And I'm sending my heart To a dear friend and lover
