Town Of Pray

(álbum: Emigrant - 2021)

One day this will be mine
I fought through space and time
West to the setting sun
With a charter and my gun
Found a river to make my way
Settled down in the town of Pray
Town of Pray

I found me a woman to love
As silent as a dove
She came from the place of the crow
With her smile she'd melt the snow
Settled with me to the end of the days
She settled down in the town of Pray
Town of Pray

One day in the mid summer rain
I found me in blinding pain
My bliss had come to an end
When took my newlywed
They bound me and broke my bones
And they felt me all alone
All alone

Run away (run away)
Run away (run away)
Run away (run away)
Run away to the town of Pray

One year one day on the plain
I saw them ride this way
She came with a child of the east
And my heart felt whole you see
I put away my anger and hate
And I cried in the summer rain
In the rain

I loved him like my child
A father with no bride
The wind blowed through my veins
I shivered with no pain
I turned to the skies up above
As I fell to my knees and prayed
And I prayed

Run away (run away)
Run away (run away)
Run away (run away)
Run away to the town of Pray

I found myself awake
With nothing on my back
My son had died of cold
An angel of six years old
Run away, son, away from the pain
I will bury you in the town of Pray
Town of Pray
