Blackguard I Lyrics - Sam Segurado

Mercury flows through the night 

The river the ribbon the mirror the mind 

Breathes in as you breathe out a sigh 

You take off the mask one last time 

A blackguard hard as they come 

This life in the line is alright for some 

Nail-clipping moon in the green dawn sky 

Calls out to loving from out to inside 

He holds the earth coarse in his hands 

She tries to catch as he lets fall the sand 

Rise up and let yourself be 

The only delusion that he couldn't see 

He knows your endeavours you know his delight 

But the scars he says won't give up the fight 

And he stands apart offers to the night

What do cowboys highwaymen 

Have in common? they want to see you again 

The lost days getting so hard 

Losing the hard way not losing enough 

Mean women in the heart of the land 

Won't take a chance won't make a stand 

For a blackguard hollowed out in the rough 

A month of Sundays wouldn't be enough 

To show you the holding in the early morn 

To take you up to where the sky is torn 

The breasts of illusion the shift that you seek 

The bold have been ruined by one who is meek 

As you watch his face light up or down 

You see Saturn's rings have been circling around 

The lines of your face are mine he insists 

A breath of forgiveness you mock with a twist 

Instead of beliefs why not leave it be? 

Believing as much won't make him leave 

It's true that the dawn is exploding at last 

It's true when they say the future's the past 

The race to an ending can never be won 

Here is the earth now let fall the gun 

The blackguard the prodigal one

What do cowboys highway men 

Have in common? they want to see you again 

Blackguard you shoot from the hip 

The truth still not quite close enough to exist 

Stockholm syndrome or spoil for a fight 

You can't have it both ways not tonight 

And every dog has his day though that day surely dies 

Everybody knows there's a way to stay true to the night 

The slip of the senses the trick that they play 

They slip through your defences they get through to the place 

The sun still burns in your eyes the kiss still burns on your cheek 

You taste the sliver of redemption but there's no sleight in this release 

The life you were born to the dust you become 

Steel yourself for a moment I will go I'm undone 

Deep promise you keep in your hand 

Of real love when you know when you can 

What do cowboys highwaymen 

Have in common? they want to see you again
