Black Baldy Stallion

Slidin' down the canyon on the Black Baldy Stallion
 Through the rocks and the ridges of the cold dark night
 Shinin' like a diamond from the belt of Orion
 Is it your imagination, is the end in sight
 From the top of the mountain to the edge of the water
 You can hear her singin' softly so you spring to the order
 Of the song she was singin' the first time you saw her
 The years melt away as you ride toward the border
 Such a long, long way to ride
 Just to hear her say your name
 When you reach the other side
 You won't leave her again
 It's a resonating wonder how you've never knuckled under
 To the Elders of the village on that early Easter mornin'
 'Cause you never broke your promises and loving her is all there is
 Ridin' through the river in the fiery dawnin'
 Such a long, long way to ride
 (Still you have to carry on)
 Just to hear her say your name
 When you reach the other side
 (Where she waits to take you home)
 You won't leave her again
 (Guitar)
 Sittin' in the cafe on the corner of the plaza
 She's openin' the letter you could not deliver
 As the Black Baldy Stallion riderlessly passes
 Gleamin' in the sun drippin' water from the river
 Such a long, long way to ride
 (Still you have to carry on)
 Just to hear her say your name
 When you reach the other side
 (Where she waits to take you home)
 You won't leave her again
 ...a long, long way to ride
 (Still you have to carry on)
 Just to hear her say your name
 (From the twilight to the dawn)
 When you reach the other side
 (Where she waits to take you home)
 You won't leave her again
 You won't leave her again
