Lonestar lover
You really are a lonesome star
Speaking soft words from your precious heart
No woman can deny
Soft words that tear my heart apart
You pass through me like a cowboy pilgrim to the stars
He prayed for my sins but only knelt on one knee
And when you’re gone there’s an empty trail
A valley of solitude carved into the red earth
By your strange duty to your loneliness
And the marriage you say you didn’t choose
Days filled with laughter and women
And nights spent sleeping alone
He was looking for a heart of gold
But mine was made of blood and muscle and wolf bones
We used to stay up all night talking
‘What a beautiful curse that we can’t escape ourselves’
We had all the love between lovers
Except the promises
And now I sleep without you
Because I can’t be your heroine anymore
I can’t be your wild spirit
Your unclaimed child
Your dancing sun
SUBLIME COURAGE
