lyrics

Dark Beauty
With your doe-like eyes
And a crinkle of hair
Fading lonely across your brow

All across the mesa
Dust is sticking to my skin
But I ride with the dreams
of seeing my home again

Dark Beauty
Sunset sinking over the range
Gonna grab my pastorale
And ride the trail to you again

Dark Beauty
A cold solemn tone
Riding on past the mission bells
On the wore out dusty road

Chorus
And you say,
“Can’t it wait until tomorrow?
For it’s you, who can take away this sorrow…”

Instrumental

Brown eyes shining
You’re the spirit I always knew
That would whistle me a melody
That would bring me back to you

Dark Beauty
I’d ride from Eagle Pass to Rowe
For you to see my returning
With you standing in our home
