Gabe Hizer - Under Western Skies Lyrics

The canyon river rose
I watched the melting snow
Under western skies

I knew this day would come
When you would leave my home
Under western skies

You want to watch the sun
Sink behind the waves
Under western skies

So I bid you faretheewell
And hope you find your dream
Under western skies

Oh, but I will still remain
I'm rooted to this soil
I'll live out all my days
In peace... and toil

Your letter came today
Another baby born
Under western skies

I plow the fields again
And pray once more for rain
Under western skies

Oh, but I will still remain
I'm rooted to this soil
I'll live out all my days
In peace... and toil

Someday down the line
You'll stand atop this hill
Under western skies

And gaze down on these fields
While you remember me
Under western skies

Oh, you'll know that I remained
Rooted to this soil
And lived out all my days
In peace... and joy

Oh...
