"The Cowboy's Lament" lyrics

The Cowboy's Lament

Oh my angel
Sweet sweet angel
Come to me swiftly
This night so still

For dawn does come swiftly
I been gone so long
But your face is so lovely
It keeps my faith strong

My hands are unsteady
I'm so far from home
But just tell me angel
I'm never alone

Lay with me angel
Speak not a word
Your body's so slender
Like the wings of a bird

And fly from me angel
When you see dawn has come
I'll be with you angel
On the wings of a song
