Lonely Rider from Country Ballads by Timeless Country Music

The prairie winds whisper your name,
A love once wild, now a flickering flame.
You rode away under the crimson sky,
Left me here with no goodbye.

Your shadow lingers on the canyon wall,
A ghost of love that had it all.
The stars don’t shine the way they did,
Since you left me with this heartache to rid.

Oh, my heart's a broken saddle, worn and torn,
Dreams we built now weathered and forlorn.
Every trail leads back to pain,
A lonely rider in the falling rain.

The campfire glows, but it can't keep me warm,
Your memory's the calm before the storm.
I hold the reins, but they feel so loose,
Like our love, something I can’t re-use.

I'll ride alone ‘til the dawn breaks clear,
Chasing dreams that disappear.
The open range may heal my scars,
But it can't replace the love we are.

Oh, my heart's a broken saddle, worn and torn,
Dreams we built now weathered and forlorn.
Every trail leads back to pain,
A lonely rider in the falling rain.
