Tamarack - Lonesome Cowboy's Lament lyrics



There was no blind on the window
He looked outside and watched the wind blowin'
The snowy tracks that lead to that ten dollar dive's door
That same driving wind had swept him there again
Although he swore he'd pay no mind to it's cries any more
He used to think he'd find out on the road somewhere a sign
That would tell him what this restless wind-blown wandering meant
Maybe he'll find out listening to that cold
Saskatchewan wind whining
Like some lonesome cowboys' lament
Oh the whispering wheels
And the wind at his heels
Would often fool him into thinking he was getting somewhere
But if he stopped to look behind him
He usually would find
There wasn't really any difference between here and there
Somehow every year about this time he starts to spend
All his days in wondering where the hell the last one went
Maybe he'll find out listening to that cold
Saskatchewan wind whining
Like some lonesome cowboys' lament
Many times he's still reminded of those tear-filled eyes
That he left back in Ontario in '95
He knows he could never make her realise
Like the wind he must keep moving just to stay alive

He's headed west out to Lethbridge
He suspects some kind of death-wish
Keeps him always on the highway in the winter-time
But he simply can't keep still
And all across the Cypress Hills
He lets the whistle of the wind sing him a lullaby
He wonders if he'll ever know
What it is about the blowin' wind
That keeps his gypsy heart from feeling content
Maybe he'll find out listening to that cold
Saskatchewan wind whining
Like some lonesome cowboys' lament
