Outlaw Wanderer’s Last Words
After a long ride
While the snow is falling
And your hands are hurting
Broken feet and legs
You tired and godless
After all the icy rivers
The bears in the middle of the wood
Screams of Indians claiming their lands
Rattlesnakes and wolves
You scared and alone
After all the people you lost

Moans of women who won’t remember your name
Gamblers and brothers
You betrayed and lonely
After all this great mess
The clouds will dance away from the moon
Bright stars to follow for the promised land
Gold and water
You blessed and holy
The moment when the tear falls
Life and its deep meaning
Before your very eyes
Suddenly, the truth
