The Kid / The Last Days

Lyrics

[Intro] Pasan caballos negros y gente siniestra Por los hondos caminos de la guitarra De este guitarra [Verse 1] The train inside my head Still finds the tracks The shadows still recoil But somehow I can relax [Verse 2] I've put away my guns I don't shoot nothin' anymore And though I sometimes sit and stare I've evened up the score [Verse 3] The sunshine man sells Sundays But he gives away the rest Says he's trying to make a film On how we lost the West [Verse 4] The piano player laughs Although I know inside he's sad His words are hard to get But they say that he's been had They say that he's been had [Chorus] Maria, hold my head I'm fading very fast Your smile still tastes like honey It's your tears my eyes can't grasp We knew it wouldn't last I fear I've lost the race Though I still love you [Verse 5] The ladies all play poker For the paper-hanger's prize They were shooting for his crutches But they settled for his eyes They settled for his eyes [Verse 6] The high sheriff at my window Says we're just about to start The main body's ready But we still can't find the heart We still can't find the heart [Bridge] De musico, poeta, y loco Todos tenemos un poco [Chorus] Maria, hold my head I'm fading very fast Your smile still tastes like honey It's your tears my eyes can't grasp We knew it couldn't last I fear I've lost the race Though still I love you [Verse 7] They say that time will kill you If the man don't bring you down Just a whimper and a bang Though you never hear the sound You never hear the sound [Verse 8] The mountain fades away The morning sunlight calls The horsemen drive the day As the silent killer falls [Outro] Se perde in silencio Como una humareda
