Lawless Man Lyrics

Once I was a lawless man

I knew love like a fish knows the land

Or a tiger knows the ocean

My life took a slip downstream

Swung my claws at a fleeting dream

And I woke up getting older

Wrapped myself around a rock

Held my breath and drifted off

Til I became a memory

I dreamt of a flawless man

Had a tall white six string in hand

And we sat in the garden

Although not a word was said

I knew love was the law of his land

And if I could I'd stay forever

Wrapped myself around a rock

Held my breath and drifted off

Til I became a memory

Oh lawless man

You are broken and thin

But the seeds you clinch

In your trembling hands

Are heaven sent

Plant them all

And I will grow the garden

Wrapped myself around a rock

Held my breath and drifted off

Til I became a memory
