kristofferson kris - The Sabre And The Rose слова песни
Feet hit the ground; feet leaving townQuicker than a bullet or a knifeFalling ain`t no fun when you`re on the runHoney we was runnin` for our lifeWhen Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlightHe turned his burnin` eyes upon my soul"It`s time, by God, to spend this night with someone else", he said."Squeeze a little pleasure from the gold" (love & glory, children)We can take it easy when we`re old.He 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 night at a tavernCalled the Sabre and the Rose."We swang into the saddle slick as breathingAnd slapped `em once for pleasure with the reinsThe horses snorted frosty in the moonlightSomethin` dark was singing in my veinsOlder than the voices in my brain.He said, "This place you`re gonna see is where they live and breatheAnd sink down a little bit deeper every dayAnd sometimes at night, when the wind is runnin` right,You can hear it suckin` thirty miles away"Then the light was crimson and I found her,All naked and eternal and insaneSacred as the mysteries around her like a veilNothin` but her prison was profaneAll we had in common was our chains.Ah-burn it down boysBurn it to the ground, boysBurn it on downFeet hit the ground; feet leaving townQuicker than a bullet or a knifeAll the way she ran holdin` to my handRunnin` for the river and our lifeSlidin` from the moonlight into shadowsSilent as the river as it flowsSwimmin` to the place they`ll never find usAll we left behind us was our clothesAnd the stories, children.Sing about The Sabre and the Rose
