Trevor Beld Jimenez - October Sun Lyrics

Well, the fields are burning in the October sun
In the smoke-filled skies of tomorrow
He spent the last 3 years of his life on the run
Without a suitcase to borrow

He follows the river brown with mud
And hides from the men who would follow
He knows that he'll never see her again
On the banks of the old Colorado

Oh, Vaquero what will you sing?
Now that your freedom is gone
Taken in death for a gold wedding ring
And the words of another man's song

All his life he was with her or so it seemed
Now he breathes only sorrow
He's tired of livin' his meaningless dreams
And the smoke-filled skies of tomorrow

Somewhere in Autumn's restless quiet
When the hills are hidden by shadow
He walks through the day and the half-moon nights
To sleep in a graveyard hollow

Oh, Vaquero what will you dream?
Now that your spirit has fallen
The sparrow's song ain't what it seems
After a single heart stolen

Well, the fields are burning in the October sun
