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
And lay with me angel
Speak not a word

Your body's so slender
Like the wings of a bird
Fly from me angel
When you see dawn has come
I'll be with you angel
On the wings of a song
