Stallion

(Kris Kristofferson)



Stay if you want to, don't be ashamed

Leavin' is easy Lord, losin's the same

Life is a promise nobody keeps

Lay yourself down girl, rock me to sleep.



We were the wild ones, proud in our prime

Me and the stallion Lord, one of a kind

See how we run Lord, see how we fall

Ridin' for moonlight we done it all.



Well, the daylight was dyin', rooks in the wind

She stood before me stripped to the skin

Next to my stallion she purely shown

Glidin' the moonlight, starlight and stone.



The moonlight is silver, starlight is cold

Waking to laughter, shaking my soul

She was running my stallion, naked and free

Ridin' for moonlight, gone like the dream.



So stay if you want to, don't be ashamed

Leavin' is easy Lord, losin's the same

Life is a promise nobody keeps

Lay yourself down girl, rock me to sleep...
