lyrics

winter chill, late in the day
lonely horse comes without a sound
little whispers clear the way
follow the dust trails into town
come to lay his tired head down

the blessing of time…
the burning of youth…
blessed by things that only come and go,
burned by the truth…
blessed be the dream…
burned into you…
from the steppes of these fields of gold,
to the fires by the river

on the ridge, roll the wheels
out of the valley, on the edge of her seat
little schoolgirl looks around at the 1870s
so many things in store

the blessing of time…
the burning of youth…
blessed by things that only come and go,
burned by the truth…
blessed be the dream…
burned into you…
from the steppes of these fields of gold,
to the fires by the river

from waterfalls through canyon walls, an echo
smoke signals never seen, never far behind

the blessing of time…
the burning of youth…
blessed by things that only come and go,
burned by the truth…
blessed be the dream…
burned into you…
from the steppes of these fields of gold,
to the fires by the river
