Tonight I Will Retire Lyrics - Ghost Of David - Damien Jurado

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
