Lyrics for Sanctuary

Out of the winter came a warhorse of steel I've never killed a woman before, I know how it feels I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw Now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law I met up with a 'slinger 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 saw what I saw Now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law 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 But now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law I can laugh at the wind 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 But now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be alright Just give me sanctuary from the law And love me tonight, tonight Love me tonight
