Cowboys Lyrics - Portishead - Portishead

Did you sweep us far from your feet? 

Reset in stone this stark belief 

Salted eyes and a sordid dye 

Too many years 

But don't despair 

This day will be the damnedest day 

Oh, if you take these things from me 

Did you feed us tales of deceit? 

Conceal the tongues who need to speak 

Subtle lies and a soiled coin, the truth is sold 

The deal is done 

But don't despair 

This day will be the damnedest day 

Oh, if you take these things from me 

Undefined, no signs of regret 

Your swollen pride assumes respect 

Talons fly as a last disguise 

But no return, the time has come 

So don't despair 

This day will be the damnedest day 

Oh, if you take these things from me 

Oh, if you take these things from me
