Michael Martin Murphey
"Vanishing Breed"
The River of Time Album
[Verse]
WeG're both the kind who can finCd peace of mind
In Gthe light of an old fireplCace
WrGapped in a blanket talkCing the night aDway
WaGtching snow falling, the loCne wolf is calling
Out iGnto the endless spacCe
CaGuse there aren't many leCft like Dus these dGays
DoEmwn where the cGity lights bCurn
I Emknow we'll nGever retDurn
[Chorus]
LiGsten to the wind blow over the hCills, the whispering piGnes
EvGerything is free and all that we Csee is yours and mDine
JuGst you and me and this old log hoCuse is all that we neeGd
ThGat's why they call uCs the vDanishing bGreed
[Verse]
ItGs good just knowing that oCur love is growing
AnGd we're gonna find a plCace
In Ga life we buCilt with our own hDands
LiGke wild horses runnin out Cunder the sun
WeG're gonna find some sCpace
CaGuse there aren't many lCeft like Dus these dGays
GoEmd's greatest gGift to you and Cme
Is Emknowing how iGt feels to be fDree
[Chorus]
LiGsten to the wind blow over the hCills, the whispering piGnes
EvGerything is free and all that we Csee is yours and mDine
JuGst you and me and this old log hoCuse is all that we neeGd
ThGat's why they call uCs the vDanishing bGreed

Michael Martin Murphey

"Vanishing Breed"

The River of Time Album

[Verse]

G C

We're both the kind who can find peace of mind

G C

In the light of an old fireplace

G C D

Wrapped in a blanket talking the night away

G C

Watching snow falling, the lone wolf is calling

G C

Out into the endless space

G C D G

Cause there aren't many left like us these days

Em G C

Down where the city lights burn

Em G D

I know we'll never return

[Chorus]

G C G

Listen to the wind blow over the hills, the whispering pines

G C D

Everything is free and all that we see is yours and mine

G C G

Just you and me and this old log house is all that we need

G C D G

That's why they call us the vanishing breed

[Verse]

G C

Its good just knowing that our love is growing

G C

And we're gonna find a place

G C D

In a life we built with our own hands

G C

Like wild horses runnin out under the sun

G C

We're gonna find some space

G C D G

Cause there aren't many left like us these days

Em G C

God's greatest gift to you and me

Em G D

Is knowing how it feels to be free

[Chorus]

G C G

Listen to the wind blow over the hills, the whispering pines

G C D

Everything is free and all that we see is yours and mine

G C G

Just you and me and this old log house is all that we need

G C D G

That's why they call us the vanishing breed
