Shipmates In Cheyenne

(albüm: Bobby Darin - 1972)

Shipmates in Cheyenne and raindrops and crying
The dreams of an old, old man
Candles and church bells and laughter and farewells
Revolve in his thoughts like a wind

And I'll hold me one before the daylight is done
I'll hold it today

Stallions and blizzards and steelies and lizards
Adrift in the meadow of his time
No sense of progression, of age or direction
No meter, no form and no rhyme

And I'll hold me one before the daylight is done
I'll hold it today

Kingdoms and cupboards and losers and lovers
And evenin's of blackberry wine
Falling like sand, just the memory of her hands
And the kisses, the whispers and sighs

And I'll hold me one before the daylight is done
I'll hold it today

You know I'll hold me one
One more rising sun
