lyrics

Guns at Dawn Part II

Verse 1
For days I’ve walked along this dusty road,
With my cross to bear and with my troubled soul,
Their whispers tearing at my ears, the wind is tearing at my clothes.

Verse 2
I dare not even stop for breath,
‘cause these streets they reek of alcohol and death,
And these surly words they speak they stand between myself and sleep,
But I’ll keep trying, or I’ll be lying on these streets tonight.

Chorus
I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
Wont you spare this stranger another bar-room fight,
I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
All I ask is for a drink, to ease my mind, to stop me thinking of how I left you,
of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, to the dogs…

Time’s a healer well that’s what they say,
But these wounds they seem to worsen by the day,
And my thoughts are never far from how I left you in that barn,
To save my own hide, you gave your own life.

Chorus
I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
Wont you spare this stranger another bar-room fight,
I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
All I ask is for a drink, to ease my mind, to stop me thinking of how I left you,
of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you, of how I left you,
Oh I will avenge you, for what they‘ve done…

I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
Wont you spare this stranger another bar-room fight,
I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
If looks could kill I would have died a thousand times
I’m a stranger in this town tonight,
All I ask is for a drink, to ease my mind, to stop me thinking.
