|
It's that velvet horned buck |
|
Telling me to measure up |
|
He locks my eyes |
|
And I know just what I'm here for. |
|
Love be swift love be kind |
|
While you're making up your mind |
|
Yeah I know I don't deserve it |
|
But I need something to spell me |
|
It's Friday night everything's shut down |
|
Cause everyone around here is broke and tired |
|
Steam is rising from an August storm |
|
It's like I just got born |
|
So life be honest life be free |
|
While you're pouring out of me |
|
Or swelling up |
|
Cause I know that I get greedy |
|
And I know this creek is gonna rise |
|
And sometimes it will run dry |
|
Yeah please don't let me waste it |
|
But please don't let me drown |
|
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay |
|
Give me a dog that don't run away |
|
Give me a love that don't fade |
|
Oh let me walk in decency |
|
Death be gentle death be proud |
|
But most of all just be allowed |
|
Oh let me pull the knife |
|
Across for mercy's sake now |
|
And if I just don't have the guts |
|
Will you come and prop me up |
|
Yeah I know what's right |
|
Oh but I just can't seem to do it |
|
Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay |
|
Give me a dog that don't run away |
|
Give me a love that don't fade |
|
Oh let me walk in decency |
