A Gunfighter's Saga (R-E) Lyrics

Darkness at noon

Last night a black moon

Seems the times are telling me

What's gonna be soon

Ah, you fool, you think to make a name

You'll win my hand or die

Take this title off my gun belt

And wear it in your eye

I can tell you where it's at

Riding high in the saddle and free

Still always looking back to see

If someone is coming after me

I'm the fastest in these parts

Been that way since sixty one

I've slapped leather with the best around

And every time I won

Only, time has caused me casualties

And I'm shaky when I stand

And my two-gun style is haunted

By arthritis in my right hand

Ah, but you hear not a thing

An icy stare you cast so cool

Your determination blinds your eyes

And binds you to this duel

Lightning speed

A steady hand

Will hold this hour's day

But this albatross you wager for

Can only leave one

To walk away

Right now, walk away

Before I blow you down

Walk Away

Oh the funeral was so quiet

Just some family and friends

I could see them all looking over at me

Wondering when I'll end

I pack my bags

Get out of town

And I'm riding fast and long

Yet, I wonder just how long it'll be

Before I fall

Into something wrong

Right now, walk away

Before I blow you down

Walk Away
