Long lonely sound Like a distant wolf or hound With the slowing 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 That was ten years behind me Mmm, beside me the woman showed me how To love 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 almost everything that's done And that was ten years behind me Mmm, beside me the woman showed me how To love Ten years behind me And it reminds me of what I don't have now Long lonely sound Like a distant wolf or hound With the slowing 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 it was fine to have a woman by my side
