Kris Kristofferson Lyrics
"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...
