I keep my eyes to the sky as I walk, so my tear drops never fall. Remember the spring day, alone at night. I keep my eyes to the sky as I walk, I can’t count the stars through the tears. Remember the summer day, alone at night. Happiness lies above the clouds, Happiness lies above the sky. I keep my eyes to the sky as I walk, so my tear drops never fall. Crying while I walk, alone at night. Remember the autumn day, alone at night. Sorrow lies in the shadow of the stars, sorrow lies in the shadow of the moon. I keep my eyes to the sky as I walk, so my tear drops never fall. Crying while I walk, alone at night.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He’s ridin hard to catch that herd But he ain’t caught em yet Cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky On horses snortin fire as they ride on hear their cries As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name 'If you wanna save your soul from hell a-ridin on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Tryin to catch the devil’s herd across these endless skies ---

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow. ---
