Bound To Roam Lyrics by The Black Lillies

Hard To Please

0

Darlin' Sarah, you know I’m leaving
I'm 21 and bound to roam
I've got a pistol and a greenback dollar
Fare thee well, I’ll ride alone
Willie my darlin', don't leave me standing
You know I'll gladly be your bride
I've got a dagger and a silver dollar
Ride away and you're bound to die
Love it changes like the seasons
Steal your heart like an old freight train
Leaves a young heart cold and wanting
Comes and goes like a summer rain
Darlin' Willie come down with me
To the river … one last time
I've got treasures for you only
Pleasures for you there to find
Oh dear Sarah, you know I love you
In your trust I do reside
I’ll go with you down to the river
Take my hand, you’ll be my guide
Love it changes like the seasons
Steal your heart like an old freight train
Leaves a young heart cold and wanting
Comes and goes like a summer rain
Darlin' Willie, take my hand now
Let’s go down to the water's edge
Wade on in … feel the water
Wrap around and take us in
Oh dear Sarah, I'm so scared now
The water's rising and I can’t swim
Hold my hand and I'll go with you
Sink on down to the promised land
Love it changes like the seasons
Steal your heart like an old freight train
Leaves a young heart cold and wanting
Comes and goes like a summer rain
