Release Lyrics - High Land, Hard Rain - Aztec Camera

Silver shone the rooftops, I heard the words, 'You will' 

And realized that in your eyes, the force of love could kill 

So go and get your wages, get what you deserve 

When hope held out its hands today, you laughed and turned and fled 

Release, 'cause I wanted the world 

All I could get to was a gun or a girl 

Release, now I've thrown them away 

I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay 

The loch is overflowing, the sun has shed its light 

And all that's left to warm your breast's the wine we stole tonight 

Bottle merchants, both of us, overdosed on Keats 

We smashed them all and watched them fall like magic in the streets 

Release, 'cause I wanted the world 

All I could get to was a gun or a girl 

Release, now I've thrown them away 

I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay 

Standing in our new boots, we've lost the urge to hide 

Left it with the souvenirs that forced us to decide 

How we'd storm the palace, meet me at the gates 

There's plenty bread and water here for anyone who waits 

Release, 'cause I wanted the world 

All I could get to was a gun or a girl 

Release, now I've thrown them away 

I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay 

But you can't remember where you squandered your hope 

A fistful of dollars and a fistful of dope 

With your hands in your hair and your hair in your face 

You'd summon your soul because we're leaving this place 

With a red, red flag and a red, red flag, red, red flag for a souvenir 

Red, red flag and a red, red flag and a red, red flag for a souvenir
