I'll always remember the first time I saw him Up in the saddle alone Riding that pony and racin' the wind Whereverit would blow Each night I'd pray For one more day But his soul was wild and free It's like tyin' a heart To a tumbleweed So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon His love will blow my way one day soon Yes I know I should let him go But I can't deny the need It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon His love will blow my way one day soon Yes I know I should let him go But I can't deny the need It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed I could fashion some fences that might hold him in But only for a little while 'Cause that restless spirit keeps following him And I know he's bound to say goodbye I dream he'll say that he wants to stay Then he drifts away from me It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed So I'll make a wish beneath the desert moon His love will blow my way one day soon Yes I know I should let him go But I can't deny the need It's like tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed Tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed Tyin' a heart to a tumbleweed
