Golden Wings Of Time (Larry W. Jones 11/29/2006) (song#4186)

The western sun is setting, quickly setting
As evening shadows come to claim their own
Eyes that no longer see are not regretting
The golden way she raised a cowboy's son

Oh, asleep is she who sincerely loved me
Not for what I was, but should have been
Autumn leaves and those that fall in Winter
Can they ever turn from gold to green again

In her easy ways she loved me completely
Summer days were of the warmest kind
No other love could come to me as sweetly
As she who's flown on golden wings of time

On a poor cowboy's wages she raised a son
And taught us both what true love means
Now she's gone like the western setting sun
Like a lovely swan on time's golden wings

In her easy ways she loved me completely
Summer days were of the warmest kind
No other love could come to me as sweetly
As she who's flown on golden wings of time
