Shipmates In Cheyenne - Bobby Darin

Shipmates in Cheyenne and raindrops and cryin'

The dreams of an old, old man

Candles and church bells and laughter and farewells

Revolve in his thoughts like a wind

And I’ll hold me one before the daylight is done

I’ll hold it today

Stallions and blizzards and steelies and lizards

Adrift in the meadow of his time

No sense of progression, of age or direction

No meter, no form and no rhyme

And I’ll hold me one before the daylight is done

I’ll hold it today

Kingdoms and cupboards and losers and lovers

And evenin’s of blackberry wine

Fallin' like sand, just the memory of her hands

And the kisses, the whispers and sighs

And I’ll hold me one before the daylight is done

I’ll hold it today

You know I’ll hold me one

One more risin' sun
