Verse 1

Waiting for something

That just wouldn’t come

Stretched out and beat like a drum

I never knew nothin’

‘Till you walked in the door

And now I know less than before

Chorus 1

In a canyon on a hill

And in the lane I’ll love her still

In the fall when meadows glow

Seven soldiers in a row

Chorus 2

She was young and I was old

Like a fire in the cold

Nights to pine upon the moon

For to sing its ether tune

Verse 2

I love you

But baby it just isn’t right

To stay here and sleep every night

I saw to your learnin’

And paid for your way

And it seems like you know less each day

Chorus 3

In a canyon on a hill

There my love awaits me still

Like a shadow in the night

Unrevealed to human sight

Chorus 4

With the boys she took a ride

Like a lion with her pride

White above the group below

Like an angel in the snow

Chorus 5

Soon the sky was cryin’ wide

Like the thunder from on high

Pebbles roll upon the hill

Forests fall against their will

Chorus 6

Now the bullet from a gun

Shot beneath the bloody sun

Over dale the group returned

Sans a rider I would learn

Chorus 7

I can hear the coyote call

In a canyon off a wall

All she left is here to see

Side by side with horse and me

Chorus 8

In a canyon on a hill

And in the lane I love her still

In the fall where meadows glow

Seven soldiers in a row
