My Crimes

How did I ever know She'd feel that way About a bullet streaking across the sky Of green and black confounded, Are you?...who is this?... And when we'd go there She'd take me where I'd fall and lie for her Crawl and die for her With a gentle shove You can't gun the whole world down And hand out justice through your eyes You can't take 'em where you've been Or make 'em pay for your crimes A simultaneous argument in my head About what she meant and means to me I feel a sense of inner dread Why do I hang myself right before I'm free? I remember how the crows came And throwing bread at his feet I remember the Man in Black Always a step ahead of me I lift the jawbone in my hand Through the Oracle I will see What I've chased.... all this time And one day, I'll be, standin' on that hill On that day, a horn blast, will burn the still We'll be there, together, to win the day But I'll be, the only one, who ever rides away... I lost everyone who ever stood at my side.... And still they stay.... You can't run the whole world down And hand out justice through your cries You can't take 'em where you've sinned Or make 'em pay for your crimes
