Dark Beauty

[Verse 1]
Dark beauty
With your doe-like eyes
And a crinkle of hair
Fading lonely 'cross your brow

[Verse 2]
All across the mesa
Dust is sticking to my skin
But I ride with the dreams
Of seeing my home again

[Verse 3]
Dark beauty
Sunset sinking over the range
Gonna grab my pastorale
And ride the trail to you again

[Verse 4]
Dark beauty
A cold, solemn tone
Riding on past the mission bells
On the wore-out dusty road

[Chorus]
And you say, "Can't it wait until tomorrow?
For it's you who can take away this sorrow"

[Verse 5]
Brown eyes shining
You're the spirit I always knew
That would whistle me a melody
That would bring me back to you

[Verse 6]
Dark beauty
I'd ride from Eagle Pass to Rowe
For you to see my returning
With you standing in our home

[Chorus]
And you say, "Can't it wait until tomorrow?
For you can take away this sorrow, this sorrow"
