pale rider

pale rider

ride through,
ride on pale rider, ride
pass through the town,
journey over the bridge
       of fresh water
back to the fertile hills,
        crops to harvest,
where the cows feed heartily,
where the rain falls down
         the sun will dry
flowers will bloom, flowers
     will die
clouds pass over, the sky
     will stay blue
the animals will tell you
   the direction of where to

ride on pale rider, ride
   squeeze between the low valleys,
   pass over that mountain side.
there is a message waiting
when you come to the other side.
