Nightwind. Gentle Spirit, Noble Soul (Tom Swearingen)


Nightwind. Gentle Spirit, Noble Soul
«Tom Swearingen »


Twenty two years.  A good long time
 To spend with an equine friend
 So, there’s no getting around
 Sadness when coming to the end


Good night Nightwind. We’ll miss you girl
 Time you just rest peaceful now
 Won’t be the same without you
 Here but we’ll get through it somehow


I expect you’ll often find us
 Out lingering by your grave
 Recalling all the good times
 We had and memories to save


We’ll be listn’n for your nicker
 In the rustling of the trees
 And the call of your whinny
 In the soft whistle of the breeze


Then in the evening darkness
 We will scan the far fence line
 And imagine your outline
 Walking and you’ll be doing fine!


Sound as you were when we showed you
 And we rode the trails for miles
 Or took kids on their first rides
 And you gave ’em all such big smiles


We’ll take comfort in our mem’ry
 Now you rest your noble soul
 Rest easy gentle spirit
 For there are no more miles to go
