Ten Years Behind Me

Long lonely sound
 Like a distant wolf or hound
 With the slowness of the wind inside the canyon
 I gazed upon the night
 Without loneliness or fright
 It was fine to have a woman by my side
 And that was ten years behind me
 Oh, behind me the child became a man
 Ten years behind me
 And it reminds me of what I don't have now
 Heat of the day
 When those flies got in our way
 With the burning of the leaves upon the hillside
 But I was so young
 Short of breath, clean of lung
 There's a first time for everything that's done
 And that was ten years behind me
 Oh, behind me the child became a man
 Ten years behind me
 And it reminds me of what I don't have now
 So far away
 As the earth spins in today
 Blows the wind to spread the morning on the canyon
 I gazed upon the sight
 Without loneliness or fright
 It was fine to have a woman by my side
 It was fine to have a woman by my side
