wing movements

I’m sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ the sun go down Smoke curls up, but my heart’s headin’ out of town Beyond the hills, where the long road runs Not hands — but wings, I’m leavin’ at dawn Not hands — but wings, not sleep — but motion The old road’s callin’, whisperin’ devotion On dusty trails, ’neath the blue sky wide I’ll find what my soul’s been seekin’ inside My horse is restless, pawin’ at the ground Sunrise paints the fields, new day is found Wind in the mane, scent of wild grass sweet World’s so wide, where dreams can’t be beat Not hands — but wings, not sleep — but motion The old road’s callin’, whisperin’ devotion On dusty trails, ’neath the blue sky wide I’ll find what my soul’s been seekin’ inside Home’s far behind, the night’s growin’ cold But a lonesome star’s tellin’ me the way I’m told Wheel creaks, hooves beat the ground My soul’s singin’ — it won’t be bound Dawn’s turnin’ pink over that old hill Where I was young, time standin’ still But years ain’t a burden, just a trail I’ve worn Wings carry me on, from dusk till morn Not hands — but wings… not sleep — but motion The old road’s callin’… whisperin’ devotion On dusty trails… ’neath the blue sky wide I found what my soul’s been seekin’ inside
