Lyrics

I thought if I fought you In the open field Your bayonet would crack On my hard iron shield You caught me running Now I'm at your command A servant to forces That I don't understand If you were the shepherd And I was the lamb And long was the journey And dark was the land Who would be following, who Would be free? And who would believe That the shepherd was me? When that poet decides How the heroine dies He commits original sin When that last ray decays From the boardwalk parades Yours is the longest shadow to face Oklahoma Don't bury your eyes Night receives morning Like death receives life Blown on the ashes Of the emperor's clothes All through the cornfields, planted in rows When that poet decides How the heroine dies He commits original sin When that last ray decays From the boardwalk parade Yours is the longest shadow to fade Yours is the longest shadow to fade
