Gunslinger
Hold my hand, I cannot speak
There’s words in my chest, but no heartbeat
the Kindly Ones watch over me
as the desert wind bares her teeth
And sing,
Oh, Gunslinger
Why did you have to Go?
Oh, Gunslinger
callin’ hell your earthly home
You walk through my dreams
as real as life
a dust covered man
to his ghost-faced wife
Will you return the same man to me
or will the desert claim another feast?
Oh, Gunslinger
Why did you have to go?
Oh, Gunslinger
Hell is your earthly home
Love is strong
it doesn’t stop with life
but your path is the bullet
and my pen is a knife
I’m a lowly scribe
while you give your life
know that my words
flow like blood tonight
