Ray Wylie Hubbard - Dangerous Spirits Şarkı Sözleri

Dangerous spirits are at large in the hills

cold dark wings is in the air

some have been lost to the shadows within the light

some are beyond the reach of prayer


I myself have stood with the ravens in the rain

a darkness in my heart and a younger face

and with a stolen chestnut mare and a blue navy colt

I was above the law outside the bounds of grace


With a pistol in my hand and no kindness in my eyes

I wore these as a badge high in fashion

but I had to walk away from the powder and the flame

the reason was not fear it was compassion

I let my revolver fall from my hands

and put on the coat of a pilgrim

now there is more to me than between my hat and boots

and the treasures I own no one can steal them

Solo


Now I stand in the dirt with the dust on my boots

the road that I choose is less travelled

the flag that I follow is full of holes and torn

and its sacred threads can never be unraveled


And I have met a woman who is in my breath and bones

she's at ease in either calico or leather

she prays to a god who does not hurt or hate

she wears earrings of crystals and feathers

Solo


Since I left my revolver in the dirt

I have known peace since that hour

and now I see my life passing before my eyes

as a petal falling from a flower


Ah but there are dangerous spirits are at large in the hills

cold dark wings is in the air

some have been lost to the shadows within the light

some are beyond the reach of prayer
