Tonight I Will Retire - Damien Jurado

Oh tonight I will retire

To the arms of my lover

The sweetest kiss he will give

As I lay down beside him

What will he think

When he awakes

Just to find I have left here

And oh tonight I will retire

To these hands with revolvers

And I don’t fear death

I will commit

Like an old friend I’ve known forever

So come on in, take me on

No I won’t stay here no longer

And if I should taste fire

Save me not, I deserve to die

And if I should taste fire

Save me not, I deserve to die

And oh tonight I will retire

To the loving arms of my savior

And we will walk through his gates

To the skies of Heaven

And no more tears will I cry

Are my sins, are they forgiven?

And if I should taste fire

Save me not, I deserve to die

And if I should taste fire

Save me not, I deserve to die
