Five Fingers

I came in to town
when the sun was down
it didn't occur to me I'd meet
somebody right here in the street

He said, 'you're wearin' your belt low'
I don't want any trouble out of you
or you'll find yourself close
to a graveyard stone

Now I didn't want to displease
any of the good people here
as I was kinda dry inside
I stopped at the local saloon

Its name had a familiar ring
I stepped in with a swing
'Five Fingers' was there
ready to beat me to the draw

as I turned out he did but he missed
shot a hole in my left hand the hand
I could spend

for the right it was that killed him
actually not a shadow it was Ishot
I moved on as fast as I could

put distance between me and a lot o' hate
'cause 'Five Fingers' wasn't a game you
played

he was out on the hunt in his very own way
would he catch up he'd make me pay
I didn't want that, so I ran from the 'Hell Cat'

I hid in the tiniest hole, even 'Five Fingers'
couldn't find it on his own

Easy ways

on

 

the hunt for some lonely ladies

 

 to

 

come to his mansion

 

 

 

is

 

a

 

love so wild yet so tender, an uncovered stone

 

 

a

 

king of beasts takes them home

 

 

never

 

seen one so gentle, never seen one so at ease

 

his

 

love can tease, his love can please

 

 

king of beasts lives at night

 

hunts

 

from

 

shadow to shadow untill it comes to a close

 

takin' them home where love is wild, where love is mild

 

king of beasts, is allright

 

 

 

his

 

approach is slow, his price is promissing

 

will she be staying, will she come home

 

to

 

taste his love, his gentleness

 

see his easy ways

 

will

 

she

 

taste

 

will she stay

Lost it somewhere

 

 

 

 

 

I'd

 

like to travel 'round ev'ry corner

 

'round ev'ry bend, uncover any stone

 

cut through wilderness, go down any road

 

see

 

if trust is there, I've lost it somewhere

 

 

 

lookin' in ev;ry town, searchin'  ev'ry lane

 

searchin' way down, where nobody's been

 

enter any cave, deep

 

 

 

I'd l;ike to travel, look for more, see if it's there

 

lost it somewhere

 

 

board a ship sailin' , sand

 

crossin' endless miles, in countless desserts

 

still it goes on

 

 

I haven;t seen it all, I've searched valleys

 

climbed over mountains, drank from their water

 

watched the skies, if it was up there

 

guess it would be mine

 

 

no sign comin' to me at all

 

so I abandon my quest, return home for a rest

 

somebody in the door, waitin there with a trust in her eyes

 

I

 

just couldn;t find

 

 

it

 

will be some time, before I travel

 

yet

 

another

 

mile
