Outlaw's Dream

album: Affected by the Moon (2002), track 5 of 13
author: Jack Williams
publisher: Doc Owsley Music, BMI

I ride alone through endless hours
Cursing all my fading powers
Never resting, never seen
No need to hide, I'm lost inside an outlaw's dream

I raise my hand against the sun
I drain the fire from my gun
Through shifting sands and barren streams
No place to stand, no fellow man in an outlaw's dream
 CHORUS
   No eagle's cry no desert rose
   No prairie wind, no canyon wren, no drifting snow
   No cooling rain, no scorpion's sting
   No grace of God, no shepherd's rod in an outlaw's dream
I search in vain for sacred places,
Recalling love in gravestone faces
The vandal moon betrays the scene,
All hope is gone, there'll be no dawn in an outlaw's dream
 CHORUS
No grace of God, no shepherd's rod in an outlaw's dream
