Píseň: Starlight And Stone

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Closer To The Bone
i just wanted a ride
 i just want you to know
 i got nothing to hide
 i got nowhere to go


 and the hunger is hard
 as a promise to keep
 and the night's are so long
 and the silence so deep


 there's a piece of my mind
 the world can't erase
 i remember the time
 and the look on your face


 and i will tell the wind
 blow the stars from the sky
 the road never ends
 the soul never dies


 be who you are
 just as long as you can
 know in your heart
 i'm still your man


 headin' for home
 starlight and stone
