Cock Robin

I walk to the sagebrush silence of the dead Shout down in the canyon, echoing in my head I'm living the same dream I knew as a pup I wouldn't trade nothing nor have given it up Trouble on the horizon, better stay out of sight I'll marry a good man, who'll put...

Bring me in Wind me up Body over mind We run like the devil Out of breath Close to death I'll wait for a sign We're willing and able Love can be fatal (refrain) You say never To say never And bout tomorrow We'll know better There's no hurry That our day will...
