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 And that was ten years behind me Oh, behind me the child became a man Ten years behind me And it reminds me of what I don't have now 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 And that was ten years behind me Oh, behind me the child became a man Ten years behind me And it reminds me of what I don't have now So far away As the earth spins in today Blows the wind to spread 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
