Sanctuary lyrics

Out of the winter came a war horse of steel.

I've never killed a woman before,

But I know how it feels.

I know you'd have gone insane

If you saw what I saw.

Now I've got to look for

Sanctuary from the law

I met up with a stranger

Last night to keep me alive

He spends all his money

On gambling and guns to survive

I know you'd have gone insane

If you saw what I saw.

Now I've got to look for

Sanctuary from the law

So give me sanctuary from the law

And I'll be alright

Sanctuary from the law

And love me tonight, tonight

[Bridge]

I know you'd have gone insane

If you saw what I saw.

Now I've got to look for

Sanctuary from the law

I can laugh at the wind,

Howl at the rain

Down in the canyon

Or out on the plains

I know you'd have gone insane

If you saw what I saw.

Now I've got to look for

Sanctuary from the law

So give me sanctuary from the law

And I'll be alright

So give me sanctuary from the law

And love me tonight, tonight
