Lay a wreath by the poplar or maple For the pine and the walnut are gone Secure your saddle on that old Palomino And ride 'til the stars seem too fall What do you dream of When all that you wanted Is given when the need for it is done? Like the love of a girl Who has long been a woman Long years after you've moved on But do sleep well Ooooh, It's not your fault Was there in the first light in the stillness of morning When you hear one fragile birdsong 'Cause alone with the truth: that is the worst kind of lonely The worst kind being alone Still got that old saddle, but it's a new Palomino And the spark is fading faster than hope And you think about three words left forever unspoken That altered the path that you walk But do sleep well Ooooh, It's not your fault Do sleep well Ooooh, It's not your fault Ooooh
