Rolling meadows and green hills The water receding before me A curtain blowing in the wind The rain washed winding road of tranquility Cleansing the ghostly plains As the hurt of the estranged carpet Rises to receive a kiss from the clouds A canvas living to please an artist Long may a flat lonely field lay With a star spangled colored sky Standing proudly over memories Of sacrifice and painful cry The past lies in state With stories of the old west Granting passage to expectation As memory remains at rest If you can possibly know Of my love for you Can you become what I felt today Can you become a serene view? For what was always there Asked nothing of the reflection in my eye Yet gave everything And waved as my life drove by
