Lyrics

Sanctuary

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.

Out of winter came a warhorse of steel

I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels

I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw

So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

I met up with a stranger last night

To keep me alive

He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive

I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw

So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

So give me sanctuary from the law

And I'll be alright

Just give me sanctuary from the law

And love me tonight, tonight

I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw

So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

So give me sanctuary from the law

And I'll be alright

Just give me sanctuary from the law

And love me tonight, tonight

I can laugh at the wind

I can howl at the rain

Down in the canyon or out on the plain

I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw

So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

So give me sanctuary from the law

And I'll be alright

Just give me sanctuary from the law

And love me tonight, tonight
