Silver Palomino - Bruce Springsteen
(A mother dies leaving her young son
to come to terms with the loss.
In remembrance of Fiona Chappel,
for her sons Tyler and Oliver.)
I was barely 13 years old

She came out of the Guadalupe's on a night so cold
Her coat was frosted diamonds in the sallow moon's glow
My silver palomino

Sixteen hands from her withers to the ground

I lie in bed and listen to the sound

Of the west Texas thunder roll
My silver palomino

I track her into the mountains she loved

Watch her from the rocks above

She'd dip her neck and drink from the winter flows
My silver palomino

Our mustaÑeros were the very best, sir
But they could never lay a rope on her

No corral will ever hold

The silver palomino

In my dreams bareback I ride

Over the pradera low and wide

As the wind sweeps out the draw
'Cross the scrub desert floor

I'd give my riata and spurs

If I yourscould be forever

I'd ride into the serrania where no one goes

For my silver palomino

Summer drought come hard that year

Our herd grazed the land so bare

Me and my dad had to blowtorch the thorns off the prickly pear

And mother, your hand slipped from my hair
Tonight I wake early the sky is pearl, the stars aglow
I saddle up my red roan
I ride deep into the mountains along a ridge of pale stone

Where the air is still with the coming snow

As I rise higher I can smell your hair

The scent of your skin, mother, fills the air

'Midst the harsh scrub pine that grows

I watch the silver palomino
