Theme For An Imaginary Western Lyrics - Live 27/12/70 - Mountain

When the wagons leave the city 

For the forest and further on 

Painted wagon of the morning 

Dusty roads where they have gone 

Sometimes travelin' through the darkness 

At the summer comin' home 

Foreign faces by the wayside 

Look as if they hadn't known 

All the sand was in their eyes 

And the desert that's dry 

In the country town 

Where the life was found 

Oh, the dancing and the singing 

Oh, the music when they play 

Oh, the fire that they saw there 

On the grave of no return 

Sometimes they found it 

Sometimes they kept it 

Often lost it on the way 

Pawnee shadow to possess him 

Sometimes ride inside of day 

Oh, the sand was in their eyes 

And the desert that's dry 

In this country town 

Where the map was found 

Oh, the sand was in their eye 

And the desert that's dry 

In this country town 

Where the wagons bound
