Dawn at the Halter

[Ներածություն] [Տուն 1] County road, rain ticking on the hood You called from the barn; i came as fast as i could Mare down hard in the straw by the stall You held her halter while i checked them all [Կրկներգ] Hold on, hold steady, don't let her roll Lantern on the splint, hands doing what they know The winch won't catch, the trailer won't move Stay with me, girl—we've got work to do [Տուն 2] I cut the wrap and set the wooden brace You kept your palm beside her breathing face One strap, then another, pulled snug and true She tested the boards; we waited it through [Կրկներգ] Hold on, hold steady, don't let her roll Lantern on the splint, hands doing what they know The winch won't catch, the trailer won't move Stay with me, girl—we've got work to do [Guitar solo] [Կրկներգ] Hold on, hold steady, don't let her roll Lantern on the splint, hands doing what they know The winch won't catch, the trailer won't move Stay with me, girl—we've got work to do [Ելք] The winch won't catch—but the mare's still here Keep that halter close; dawn's getting near
