by: Ray Wylie HubbardCD: Dangerous SpiritsFrom: Andrew@lyonap.force9.co.ukDIntro:DDangerous spirits are at large in the hillsDcold dark wings is in the airD Gsome have been lost to the shadows within the lightD A Dsome are beyond the reach of prayerDI myself have stood with the ravens in the rainDa darkness in my heart and a younger faceD Gand with a stolen chestnut mare and a blue navy coltD A DI was above the law outside the bounds of graceDWith a pistol in my hand and no kindness in my eyesDI wore these as a badge high in fashionD Gbut I had to walk away from the powder and the flameD A Dthe reason was not fear it was compassionDI let my revolver fall from my handsDand put on the coat of a pilgrimD Gnow there is more to me than between my hat and bootsD A Dand the treasures I own no one can steal themSoloDNow I stand in the dirt with the dust on my bootsDthe road that I choose is less travelledD Gthe flag that I follow is full of holes and tornD A Dand its sacred threads can never be unraveledDAnd I have met a woman who is in my breath and bonesDshe's at ease in either calico or leatherD Gshe prays to a god who does not hurt or hateD A Dshe wears earrings of crystals and feathersSoloDSince I left my revolver in the dirtDI have known peace since that hourD Gand now I see my life passing before my eyesD A Das a petal falling from a flowerDAh but there are dangerous spirits are at large in the hillsDcold dark wings is in the airD Gsome have been lost to the shadows within the lightD A Dsome are beyond the reach of prayerOutro solo
