Lyrics
The Gunman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know that on some narrow street
Our paths will cross
Our eyes will meet
And love will leave me at his feet
I'm waiting for the gunman
When I enter a room
I will only sit facing the door
It's love I'm looking for
As I search every face
I start to wondering is this the place
Chorus:
For love is a gunman
And no mercy has he
He'll hunt you down
Until the day death sets you free
Love is a gunman
And he's coming to town
You'll met his gaze both barrels blaze
Staring you down
Love is the gunman
And no mercy has he
This time his sights are fixed on me
You can run, you can hide
You can even saddle up and ride
But love won't be denied
You can wear a disguise
But he isn't fooled by alibis
(chorus)
For love is a gunman
Love is a gunman
Love is the gunman
And no mercy has he
This time his sights are fixed on me
I know that on some narrow street
Our paths will cross
Our eyes will meet
And love will leave me at his feet
I'm waiting for the gunman
