Lyrics
Time won’t you cut me a little more softly,
I’ve made a living of scorching the earth,
just tell me where to burn and,
I’ll leave it all as black as the night.
And I’ll tell ya that haunting ain’t just made just for the dead.
You know that I’ll be spending the rest of my life trying to ride as far away from here as I can.
On the frontier of something,
On the edge of your body,
It’s a matter of time and a matter of luck,
And I don’t care if you love me not.
‘Cuz’ every road from here leads to hell
On the frontier of something else
Under a one star moon
I am haunted by my foolish mistakes.
The day I left, I awoke to the craziest dreams.
The heat, wouldn’t subside.
Thought I was going mad,
Chased out by the flies
In search of something but never came back.
I can’t outrun this curse,
But damned if I don’t try.
I was wise as a serpent and soft as a dove
Will my blessings absolve
All that I have done so wrong?
On the frontier of something,
On the edge of your body,
It’s a matter of time and a matter of luck,
And I don’t care if you love me not.
‘Cuz’ every road from here leads to hell
On the frontier of something else
Under a one star moon
I am haunted by my foolish mistakes.
Oooo
Oh will you save me?
From all my sins they’re closing in.
Oooo
They’re closing in.
