Lyrics
WESTERN WIND
(An ode to Frederic Remington)
Vagabond, you've been gone so long
On a freedom ride, a campfire and a song.
You sing with the dogs that howl
Hear the ring of a telegraph wire.
Bend the strings of a desert flower
Fall in love with the shadow from the fire.
Western wind, she slapped your face
Western wind, now she's your embrace
Western wind.
Eastern man in love with the open range
Traveller, searching for a change
You sketch this wild desert home
Tell the tales of a vanishing breed.
Sculpting knights high on their saddle
You found gold in a real-life dream.
Western wind, she calls your name
Western wind, you'll never be the same
Western wind.
Western wind, she paints your sky
Western wind, she'll kiss you goodbye
Western wind.
