Lyrics

作词 : Sill
I have seen the phantom cowboy ride
His trail of dust is in my dreams
With an eagle on his shoulder through the clouds he glides
And sprints across the spacial streams.
But the ledge is steep
And the light is dark
Still I see him leap
And he keeps on headin' for a star
That's not very far, he's travelin' on a silver filigree.
I've been waitin' at the eastern gate
I waved my hand to flag him down
I always hope to catch him but he just can't wait
He's not allowed to reach the ground
But his touch can heal
When the light is dark
Doesn't need a shield
Cuz he keeps on headin' for a star
That's not very far, he likes it all just because it's real.
Tho' I'm sittin' in the grit and grime
The spark of hope is in me strong
I'm gonna try to get there in the nick of time
And maybe I can ride along
If I have no fear
When the light is dark
I can feel you near
Tho' you keep on headin' for a star
That's not very far, please don't forgit (
sic
)
If your way is clear, I'll be waitin' here.

His trail of dust is in my dreams
With an eagle on his shoulder through the clouds he glides
And sprints across the spacial streams.
But the ledge is steep
And the light is dark
Still I see him leap
And he keeps on headin' for a star
That' s not very far, he' s travelin' on a silver filigree.
I' ve been waitin' at the eastern gate
I waved my hand to flag him down
I always hope to catch him but he just can' t wait
He' s not allowed to reach the ground
But his touch can heal
When the light is dark
Doesn' t need a shield
Cuz he keeps on headin' for a star
That' s not very far, he likes it all just because it' s real.
Tho' I' m sittin' in the grit and grime
The spark of hope is in me strong
I' m gonna try to get there in the nick of time
And maybe I can ride along
