verse 1
Long lonely sound
Like a distant wolf or hound
With the slowness of the wind inside the canyon
I gazed upon the night
Without loneliness or fright
It was fine to have a woman by my side
Oh, behind me the child became a man
And it reminds me of what I don't have now
verse 2
Heat of the day
When those flies got in our way
With the burning of the leaves upon the hillside
But I was so young
Short of breath, clean of lung
There's a first time for everything that's done
Oh, behind me the child became a man
And it reminds me of what I don't have now
verse 3
So far away
As the earth's concerned today
So the winter spreads the morning on the canyon
I gazed upon the sight
Without loneliness or fright
It was fine to have a woman by my side
It was fine to have a woman by my side
