Dinah
Blacknuss Allstars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day, along about evening
When the sunlight's beginning to fail
I ride through the slumbering shadow
Along the Navajo trail
When it's night and crickets are calling
And the coyotes are making a wail
I dream by a smoldering fire
Along the Navajo trail
I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strumming a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill, the moon is climbing
Always finds me a wishing on a star
Well, whaddya know, it's morning already
There's the dawning so silver and pale
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo trail
Well, whaddya know, it's morning already
There's the dawning so silver and pale
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo trail




Oh, yes, it's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo trail

Every day, along about evening
Every day, around evening time


When the sunlight's beginning to fail
When the sun is setting


I ride through the slumbering shadow
I ride through the peaceful darkness


Along the Navajo trail
On the Navajo trail


When it's night and crickets are calling
When it's nighttime and crickets can be heard


And the coyotes are making a wail
And the coyotes can be heard howling


I dream by a smoldering fire
I daydream by a burning fire


Along the Navajo trail
On the Navajo trail


I love to lie and listen to the music
I enjoy lying down and listening to music


When the wind is strumming a sagebrush guitar
When the wind is blowing and creating music


When over yonder hill, the moon is climbing
When the moon is rising over the hill


Always finds me a wishing on a star
I always make a wish upon a star


Well, whaddya know, it's morning already
Oh, I didn't realize it's already morning


There's the dawning so silver and pale
The sun is rising and the sky is a soft silver and pale color


It's time to climb into my saddle
It's time for me to ride my horse


And ride the Navajo trail
On the Navajo trail

On the Navajo trail


Oh, yes, it's time to climb into my saddle
Yes, it's time for me to ride my horse


And ride the Navajo trail
On the Navajo trail
