lyrics

ride slow your serenade upon the cold grey dawn
now time is slipping away from you child
in the trial of your miles
steady now, another number for the lost highway
where your angel eyes saw the fire
at the end of desire
I saw you sailing on the red magnolia breeze
wild in your lust for release

sidewinder weaving shadows on the burning dusk
whispering of women and wine
and of one left behind
well, no gambler turns and walks with nothing left to lose
that's only for the Dealer to say
on your reckoning day
I saw you, Diamond Queen...trial of seven years
lost on the Idol Frontier

under tomorrow's sun
she runs
petty pace, town to town
and I'm a hired gun
hunting down
the end of the line
in a time out of mind
run softly 'til I end my song

wonder and wasted moonlight on the ark, unseen
oh, you know the horizon's alive
with no hope to arrive
so you scroll sweet, vain dreams upon a memory
pale rider, you sweat and you swing
but you can't change a thing
and Babylon's sweetheart hangs around
singing, will I follow her down?

under tomorrow's sun
she runs
petty pace, town to town
and I'm a hired gun
hunting down
the end of the line
in a time out of mind
run softly 'til I end my song
