lirik lagu clever companion - when i swing, we swing
[verse 1]
the caravan arrived shortly after our fight and took me away for good
my hands were tied and strapped
as we went forward, i looked back
on the front porch is where our children stood
[refrain]
i care not of the fondness nor the dignity i’ve known
for if i can’t settle down on the range
as the court official signs away the last of what i own
i regret letting my mind take centre stage
you know it all too well, it’s all too much
i d~mn near k!lled a hundred men for you
although on the outside i’m filled with bullet wounds and cuts
you’re the only thing that’s left me truly bruised
[verse 2]
at least we had fifteen years together
what they were i wouldn’t trade for a colt
if i, for whatever reason, don’t have to swing
the lack of visits to my cell would be my fault
i did it for my family, i’d convinced myself
the greater good of us two growing old
stealing from the rich only makes you want more silver
and what i had with you is just pure gold
[refain]
i care just of your heartbreak and the love that you’ve shown
i wish i’d just settled with the range
as the court official signs away the last of what i own
i regret letting my impulse pave the way
you know it all too well, it’s all too much
i d~mn near k!lled a thousand men for you
although on the outside i’m filled with bullet wounds and cuts
you’re the only thing that’s left me truly bruised
[verse 3]
when the pinkertons find out that i still write you
they’re bound to burn you with me when i’m hung
please leave the ranch behind and ride off with the kids
the money’s hidden in a hole behind the barn
[bridge]
and it’s in these final moments when you begin to realise
that among belt wearers and plan foilers
and even shakespeare himself
(and salvador)
even shakespeare himself
be a beefeater
[a summary, a lesson, and devastating truth]
[last rites]
you know it all too well, it’s all too much
i d~mn near k!lled a million men for you
although on the outside i’m filled with bullet wounds and cuts
i really did just want the best for you
