Out of winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law
I met up with a singer last night
To keep me alive
He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive
I know you'd have gone insane if you'd saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law
CHORUS: So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me Sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight..........tonight
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
so now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law
CHORUS: So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me Sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight............tonight
I can laugh at the wind
I can howl at the rain
Down in the Canyon or out on the plains
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
so now I've to look for Sanctuary from the law
CHORUS: So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me Sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight...........tonightI saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled - I laid my heart on the line.
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more.
I thought of my nights, and how they were.
They were filled with...
I know you wouldn't go.
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in.
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh.
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side.
I look at your life and your style...
I wanted nothing more.
I know you wouldn't go.
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in.
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh.
Walking the line, you were a marksman.
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless.
Public defender...
You had to admit you wanted the love of a sex offender.
I know you wouldn't go.
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in.
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh.
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell.
And in the trial, you were there with your badge and rubber boots.
I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you.
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you.
