Ride slow your serenade upon the cold grey dawn

Now time is slipping away from you child

In the trial of your miles

Steady now, another number for the lost highway

Where your angel eyes saw the fire

At the end of desire

I saw you sailing on the red magnolia breeze

Wild in your lust for release

Sidewinder weaving shadows on the burning dusk

Whispering of women and wine

And of one left behind

Well, no gambler turns and walks with nothing left to lose

That's only for the Dealer to say

On your reckoning day

I saw you, Diamond Queen...trial of seven years

Lost on the Idol Frontier

Under tomorrow's sun

She runs

Petty pace, town to town

And I'm a hired gun

Hunting down

The end of the line

In a time out of mind

Run softly 'til I end my song

Wonder and wasted moonlight on the ark, unseen

Oh, you know the horizon's alive

With no hope to arrive

So you scroll sweet, vain dreams upon a memory

Pale rider, you sweat and you swing

But you can't change a thing

And Babylon's sweetheart hangs around

Singing, will I follow her down?

Under tomorrow's sun

She runs

Petty pace, town to town

And I'm a hired gun

Hunting down

The end of the line

In a time out of mind

Run softly 'til I end my song
