In the Grand Way

In the grand way, she loves me

The way she holds me close to rest with me

And to know she is my life to me

My empty days are done

My running days are run

For the first time I love the morning

Burning sundowns, colored autumn trees

Mountain rivers, country livers put my mind at ease

And to realize such perfect harmony

Standing in the dawn

Of a new day coming on

I'm looking for no tomorrow

I can still hear the lonely sound

The engines of the midnight freight train northward bound

And to feel my life, my life slowly losing ground

I never quite understood

Though I see it for the good

It seems like I've just been dreaming

The way she holds me close to comfort me

My empty days are done

My running days are run

For the first time I love the morning

For the first time I love the morning

For the first time, the first time
