Lakefront Conversation

She wore the dust like a ribbon of gold

He had a promise

and a hand to hold

Down by the water

where the tall grass swayed

They found forever

in the plans they made

No silver saddle,

no mansion above

Just two wild hearts

and a whole lot of love

We’re livin’ on love

for ever and ever

With the moon on the lake and our hearts tied together

I held her close

as the cool night woke And she kissed my lips

like a promise she spoke Yeah,

livin’ on love

for ever and ever Cowgirl and cowboy,

two souls, one endeavor

She laughed like a song

in the summer rain

He’d cross every river,

ride every plain

Her hat on the dash,

his boots by the door

Every little goodbye

made them want more

No need for diamonds

shining above

The stars knew the secret:

they were enough

If the fields turn brown

and the old fence breaks

If the road gets long

and the daylight fades

I’ll be your shelter,

you’ll be my home Wherever we’re riding,

we’ll never be alone

We’re livin’ on love for ever and ever

By the blue lake shore through every kind of weather She held

me close as the first light broke

And she kissed my lips like a promise she spoke Yeah,

livin’ on love for ever and ever

Cowgirl and cowboy, now and forever

By the lake, beneath the stars above

Cowgirl, cowboy, livin’ on love
