For the First Time

If I could see the western sky for the first time
If I could hold that horizon in my hand
If I could hold her close again before the wedding

If I could fall in love for the first time
If I could only let it go and start again
If I could write to my first love for the last time
What harm could it do?

A new age has begun
A new age has begun

If I could see that western sky for the first time
If I could hold that horizon in my hand
If I could sponge back the (pain) between two lovers lost

If I could fall in love again for the first time
If I could only let it go and start again
If I could pull the weeds of regret from a choking heart
What harm could it do?

A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age

When I see that western sky for the last time
I will know for that for the first time I am done
(I will hang my head down out on the prairie)
A new age has begun

When I see that western sky for the last time
I will know for that for the first time I am done
I will cleanse my dusty hands out in the twilight
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age has begun

A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age had begun
