edge of reason

a rider on the mountaintop 
lightning illuminates
hat pulled low he spurs his horse 
and rides down to my valley 
water for the mount of roan 
a blanket for the cold 
the cowboy spins his story 
I listen as it unfolds 
enraptured and transfixed 
I am captured by every word 
before the night is over 
the edge of reason blurred 
dawn reaches out its nice warm rays
through heavy breaking clouds
and while I'm laying there asleep 
you ride out at sunrise
