Lost in the Crossfire

Lyrics

[Verse]
Out in the open, where the twilight fades,
Echoes of gunshots under the cottonwood shade,
My loyal mare ran beside me, swift as the wind,
Till bullets flew wild, and fate wasn't kind.

[Chorus]
Lost in the crossfire, my heart broke apart,
A faithful companion, torn from the start,
Where the prairie meets the skyline, under the moonlight,
I lost my dear horse in a cruelly fought fight.

[Verse]
Dust settled softly, like a blanket of grief,
The air thick with silence, a thief of belief,
No more would she gallop through meadows so wide,
Her spirit unfettered, now just a ghost by my side.

[Chorus]
Lost in the crossfire, my heart broke apart,
A faithful companion, torn from the start,
Where the prairie meets the skyline, under the moonlight,
I lost my dear horse in a cruelly fought fight.

[Bridge]
Her saddle sits empty where she used to stand,
Each hoofbeat a memory, no longer in the sand,
We rode through the sunsets, now I ride alone,
In dreams, I hear her nicker, calling me home.

[Verse]
Stars blink above, cold and unfeeling,
As I kneel by her spot, silent and reeling,
The prairie's a stage where our love once danced free,
Now burdened with sorrow, just sorrow and me.
