The Sabre And The Rose - Kris Kristofferson[00:00:00]

Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town quicker than a bullet or a knife[00:00:14]

Fallin' ain't no fun when you're on the run honey we was running for our life[00:00:27]

When Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlight[00:00:39]

He turned his burning eyes upon my soul[00:00:46]

It's time my God to spend this night with someone else he said[00:00:53]

Squeeze a little pleasure from the gold love and glory[00:01:00]

We can take it easy when we're old[00:01:07]

He said we'll take us into town lay our money down[00:01:12]

I'll bring you to the sweetest thing that grows[00:01:19]

Because the fairest ones in sight are bloomin' every night[00:01:25]

At a tavern called the Sabre and the Rose[00:01:32]

We swang into the saddle sick as breathing[00:01:39]

And slapped 'em once for pleasure with the reins[00:01:45]

The horses snorted frosty in the moonlight[00:01:52]

Somethin' dark was singing in my veins older than the voices in my brain[00:01:59]

He said this place you're gonna see is why they live and breathe[00:02:18]

And sink down a little bit deeper everyday[00:02:23]

And sometimes at night when the wind is running right[00:02:31]

You can hear it suckin' thirty miles away[00:02:38]

Then the light was crimson and I found her all naked and eternal and insane[00:02:41]

Secred as the mysteries around her like a veil nothin' but her prison was profane[00:02:58]

All we had in common was our chains[00:03:12]

Oh burn it down boys burn it to the ground boys burn it on down[00:03:22]

Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town quicker than a bullet or a knife[00:03:45]

All there was she ran holdin' to my hand runnin' for the river and our life[00:03:58]

Slidin' from the moonlight into shadows silent as the river as it flows[00:04:11]

Swimmin' to the place they'll never find us all we left behind us was our clothes[00:04:24]

And the stories children sing about the Sabre and the Rose[00:04:35]
