Palomino Lyrics

Watch him as he sleeps
Watch his little white eyes
Is he inside his head?
Is he out of his mind
As he rides three white horses
Across the golden sky?
Watch him lie

Bringing home the daily bread
Finding you both in my bed
I thought that he was just a friend
I never thought he would wind up dead
Maybe you should think of him as lucky?
Oh he ain't lucky, no

And as the town begins to die
And punishment comes from within
Let the first stone to be thrown
By the person who knows no sin

Pushed out from the shore
In a boat
Without oars
Without hope

Let the waves command the sea
Let them wash all over me
Let the sea command the crime
Let the water drown the time
As I begin to to carry on I know that I'll soon be gone
Who am I to blame them for knowing what they have been told?
I know that my life is lost for paying more than the cost
Of coming home and seeing red and ending his life with bloody death
Loving and losing my heart's wife justifies the loss of life afforded for the unkept mind
And the touch of the jealous kind.

Cast him away
Hoist his last sail
Throw him edgewards
Fall from the earth
As he leaves us
Blame his blood lust
He stole our son
Justice has been won

Freedom is a dancer
Freedom - Is it free?
