Píseň: Stallion

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Who's To Bless And Who's To Blame
[Chorus:]
Stay if you want to, don't be ashamed
Leavin' is easy; Lord, losin's the same
Life is a promise nobody keeps
Lay yourself down girl; rock me to sleep


We were the wild ones, proud in our prime
Me and the stallion, Lord, one of a kind
See how we run, Lord, see how we fall
Ridin' for moonlight, we done it all


Well, the daylight was dying, rooks in the wind
She stood before me, stripped to the skin
Next to my stallion, she purely shown
Gliding to moonlight, starlight and stone


The moonlight is silver, starlight is cold
Wakin' to laughter, shakin' my soul
She was runnin' my stallion, naked and free
Ridin' for moonlight, gone like a dream


[Chorus:]
Stay if you want to, don't be ashamed
Leavin' is easy; Lord, losin's the same
Life is a promise nobody keeps
Lay yourself down girl; rock me to sleep
