Until the Day They Die
He rode like a cowboy into the setting sunThe earth was scorched behind himThe game had just begunShe was young and pretty,She kept her body thinHer ambition was well hiddenBeneath her olive skinShe said "you must be ther oneWho left me wanting more"He said "I've met the likes of youSomewhere long before"He made his propositionThey pulled over to the sifeShe said "this must beThe perfect place to hide"Now all the well wishers are leavingThe wedding wine is running dryHalf-empty bottles areStrewn across the groundTogether safe and still until the day they dieThey found their final refugeIn some secluded placeAnd the pleasure that she gave himSongtexteWas etched across his faceHis love was like a havenFor a while it kept her warmBut nothing could hold back the rising stormNow she can hear his gentle breathingAll through the long relentless nightAs sure as morning her temperature will riseAs she dwells on some new delightShe knows the chips are downShe can't afford to lieThe boy is craving destiny once moreOne for him and one for herAnd each one to their ownTogether and along right to the coreNow all the well wishers are leavingThe wedding wine is running dryHalf-empty bottles areStrewn across the groundTogether safe and still until the day they die
