Damien Jurado Tonight I Will Retire lyrics

Oh, tonight I will retire
To the arms of my lover
The sweetest kiss she will give
As I lay down beside her
What will she think when she awakes
Just to find I have left here?

Oh, tonight I will retire
To these hands with revolver
And I don't fear death, I will commit
Like an old friend I've known forever
So come on in, take me on
No, I won't stay here no longer

And if I should taste fire
Save me not, I deserve to die


And oh, tonight I will retire
To loving arms of my Savior
And we will walk through His gates
To the skies of Heaven
And no more tears will I cry
Are my sins, are they forgiven?

And if I should taste fire
Save me not, I deserve to die

And if I should taste fire
Save me not, I deserve to die
