Tonight I Will Retire - 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
