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
