Jim Pons - The Phantom Cowboy lyrics

I have seen the phantom cowboy ride His trail of dust is in my dreams With an eagle on his shoulder through the clouds he glides And sprints across the spacial streams But the ledge is steep And the light is dark Still I see him leap And he keeps on headin' for a star That's not very far, he's travelin' on a silver filigree I've been waitin' at the eastern gate I waved my hand to flag him down I always hope to catch him but he just can't wait He's not allowed to reach the ground But his touch can heal When the light is dark Doesn't need a shield Cuz he keeps on headin' for a star That's not very far, he likes it all just because it's real Tho' I'm sittin' in the grit and grime The spark of hope is in me strong I'm gonna try to get there in the nick of time And maybe I can ride along If I have no fear When the light is dark I can feel you near Tho' you keep on headin' for a star That's not very far, please don't forgit (sic) If your way is clear, I'll be waitin' here
