[Verse 1] Last night I lay upon the ground, Tonight on hay I rest. The stars above, no voice, no sound, Just memories in my chest. I’ll write to you come morning light, But now we ride with day— We cross the river one by one, And drift so far away. [Chorus] So wait, my love, just wait for me, Though hills and borders lie. The saddle sings, the stream runs free, Beneath a foreign sky. If I could send my heart to you, In every breath I take— You’d hear the hoofbeats in the dusk, And know they’re not a fake. [Verse 2] The wind has tales of distant drums, The trees all lean and sigh. Our captain hums an old refrain, He keeps his powder dry. We’ve seen the smoke behind the ridge, The sky is painted red— But still I ride and dream of you, Though silence lies ahead. [Chorus (reprise)] So wait, my love, just wait for me, Though hills and borders lie. The saddle sings, the stream runs free, Beneath a foreign sky.
