Song for Don ©

I think I see him yet
Defiant as the wind
Running through the sunset
Down by the river bend
No friend was ever more
He couldn't cheat or steal
His simple dream was only
To hunt through wood or field
Chorus:
Golden in the morning
Splashing sunlit streams
A life so free and soaring
And golden in my dreams
To think of his wild thrill
Is more than I can stand
I see him clearly still
Chasing seagulls on the sand
My leaving came too soon
With autumn in the wind
But I'll see you by the moon
Down by the river bend
Chorus:
Golden in the morning
Splashing sunlit streams
A life so free and soaring
And golden in my dreams
