This song was first released on the windsong album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Shipmates and cheyenne, raindrops and cryinĄŻ
haunt the dreams of an old, old man
candles and church bells, laughter and farewells
revolve in his thoughts like a wind
Stallions and blizzards, steelies and lizards
adrift in the meadows of time
no sense of progression, of age or direction
no meter, no form, no rhyme
IĄŻll hold me one
just one rising sun
long after daylight is gone
iĄŻll hold me one
one more rising sun
till my daylight and darkness is done
Kingdoms and cupboards, losers and lovers
and evĄŻnings of blackberry wine
falling like sand, the memĄŻry of hands
and kisses, and whispers and sighs
IĄŻll hold me one
just one rising sun
till long after daylight is gone
iĄŻll hold me one
one more rising sun
till my daylight and darkness is done
IĄŻll hold me one
one rising sun
one more rising sun
till my daylight and darkness is done
