For the First Time
If I could see the western sky for the first time
If I could hold that horizon in my hand
If I could hold her close again before her wedding
If I could fall in love again for the first time
If I could only let it go and start anew
If I could write to my first love for the last time
What harm could it do?
A new age has begun
A new age…
If I could see that western sky for the first time
If I could hold that horizon in my hand
If I could sponge back the pain between two lovers lost
If I could fall in love again for the first time
If I could turn and face that trail I thought I knew
If I could pull the weeds of regret
From a choking heart
What harm could it do?
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age
And when I see that western sky for the last time
I will hang my hat upon the setting sun
I will rest my dusty boots out on the prairie
And when I see that western sky for the last time
I will know that for the first time I am done
I will cleanse my dusty hands out in the twilight
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
