Under Western Skies

The canyon river rose I watched the melting snow Under western skies I knew this day would come When you would leave my home Under western skies You want to watch the sun Sink behind the waves Under western skies So I bid you faretheewell And hope you find your dream Under western skies Oh, but I will still remain I'm rooted to this soil I'll live out all my days In peace... and toil Your letter came today Another baby born Under western skies I plow the fields again And pray once more for rain Under western skies Oh, but I will still remain I'm rooted to this soil I'll live out all my days In peace... and toil Someday down the line You'll stand atop this hill Under western skies And gaze down on these fields While you remember me Under western skies Oh, you'll know that I remained Rooted to this soil And lived out all my days In peace... and joy Oh...
