Old West Family Question Of Faith

From Abriham and Martin, then John, six white sent returned with sin and angels praying, love to win out.

Six on white horses did ride
One step in wind did win and hide
Ten-gallon pulled low from sun
Black taken in the heat of day
Burden layer at the door of freedom

Pretty as the clouds above the sky
She holds me in her gaze waiting for her to fly
Woman in grace of a half-grown child
Lean back in the saddle taking in the mild
Setting of old rides in the work done

Past holds me in shackles on the run
Lean side of mean carrying a gun
Heart older now seeks pleasured rest
Smiling across the distant face
She felt well in the saddle behind me

So soft against my back mind resting
No need to explain just riding off testing
Reality leads to place, for a few head, mine
She waits patiently at the borderline
Love is all she will ever see

Six riding hard, death in the wind
Old life catches reluctance of sin
Six fall sending white horses home
No rider only corpses draped alone
Never will we be free but love is blind
