Black Beauty

City lights

Shrines of modern men

Warm dark eyes

Gathered safely in headlights scars

Cacooned in smoke suture of skip lines

The engine cried

Like a vengeful choir

And we were

Strangers in a strange world ridin' high

With my black beauty

The open road

The way she soothed me in my anger

Never thought that it would end

Someday we'll ride again

Amber trails

New veins in fields we walked

You turned to go

When your new master called

The sweetgrass burned

Dark as the last nights I lay there next to you

The ashes fell

In all the places you loved best when we were

Strangers in a strange world ridin' high

With my black beauty

The open road

The way she soothed me in my anger

It's hard to lose a friend

Someday we'll ride again

Summer dreams and twitching claws

Because you have no word does not mean that you suffer any less

We'll never part now that you're gone

I'd trade all of my brightest days for one dark night

When we were

Strangers in a strange world riding high

With my black beauty

The open road

The way she soothed me in my anger

You know it well, someday we'll ride again

Someday we'll ride again
