All kinds of sadness I've left behind me.

Many's the day when I have done wrong.

But I wll be yours for ever and ever.

Climb in the saddle and whistle along.

     G#m         F#      
Deep red are the sun-sets in mystical places.
G#m           F#                  C#
Black are the nights on summer-day sands.
G#m            F#       
We'll find the speck of truth in each riddle.
G#m            F#                  C#
Hold the first grain of love in our hands.
