Kris Kristofferson - Sabre And The Rose слова песни
Feet hit the ground feet leavin` town quicker than a bullet or a knifeFallin` ain`t no fun when you`re on the run honey we was running for our lifeWhen Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlightHe turned his burning eyes upon my soulIt`s time my God to spend this night with someone else he saidSqueeze a little pleasure from the gold love and gloryWe can take it easy when we`re oldHe said we`ll take us into town lay our money downI`ll bring you to the sweetest thing that growsBecause the fairest ones in sight are bloomin` every nightAt a tavern called the Sabre and the RoseWe swang into the saddle sick as breathingAnd slapped `em once for pleasure with the reinsThe horses snorted frosty in the moonlightSomethin` dark was singing in my veins older than the voices in my brainHe said this place you`re gonna see is why they live and breatheAnd sink down a little bit deeper everydayAnd sometimes at night when the wind is running rightYou can hear it suckin` thirty miles awayThen the light was crimson and I found her all naked and eternal and insaneSecred as the mysteries around her like a veil nothin` but her prison was profaneAll we had in common was our chainsOh burn it down boys burn it to the ground boys burn it on downFeet hit the ground feet leavin` town quicker than a bullet or a knifeAll there was she ran holdin` to my hand runnin` for the river and our lifeSlidin` from the moonlight into shadows silent as the river as it flowsSwimmin` to the place they`ll never find us all we left behind us was our clothes And the stories children sing about the Sabre and the Rose
