Judee Sill - The Phantom Cowboy Lyrics

I have seen the phantom cowboy ride,
His trail of dust is in my dreams.
With an eagle on his shoulder thro the clouds he glides
And sprints across the spatial streams.
But the ledge is steep, And the light is dark, Still I see him leap,
And he keeps on headin’ for a star
That’s not very far, he’s travelin’ on a silver filigree.

I’ve been waitin’ at the eastern gate,
I waved my hand to flag him down.
I always hope to catch him but he just can’t wait,
He’s nor allowed to teach the ground.
But his touch can heal, When the light is dark, Doesn’t need a shield,
Cuz he keeps on headin’ for a star
That’s not very far, he likes it all just because it’s real.

Tho’ I’m sittin’ in the grit and grime,
The spark of hope is in me strong.
I’m gunna try to get there in the nick of time,
And maybe I can ride along.
If I have no fear,
when the light is dark,
I can feel you near,
Tho’ you keep on headin’ for a star
That’s not very far, please don’t forgit,
If your way is clear, I’ll be waitin’ here
