Thinking of forgiveness in the flickering light Walking through the rain on a winter night The breathing of the horses shivering in the breeze The song of love blowing through the trees Riding on a trail that my father left me A pathway to heaven 'neath the wandering trees Riding with a woman, she's the love of my life And the day may come that I make her my wife Walking on a trail, I'm walking alone Trying to find my way back home The horses are running to the shelter and food Helps me remember what I get from you Hold on tight and don't look back My horse is running, my saddle is slack Grittin' my teeth to the angry wind I'm coming back home to you my friend
