"Holsters" lyrics

"Holsters"

Who taught you how to weave in the ring
I was reeling just learning to swing
It comes down the ages
You're beat till you're brave
Pass it on down so the hunted may prey

Hands to our holsters I was quicker to the draw
But I left her still breathing by the grey blue light of dawn
Now away boys I roam battled and weathered
I am young still I know I will soon find another

Hit from all sides - shackled in cages
You need somebody and a fool leaves you safe
Now that I'm older I see the way some things pass
Narcissus of the water
Your reflection in glass

Hands to our holsters I was quicker to the draw
But I left her still breathing by the grey blue light of dawn
Now away boys I roam battled and weathered
I am young still I know I will soon find another

Learn to live again - just keep rising
Learn to live again - you keep rising
Learn to live again - just keep rising
Learn to live again
Learn to live again

Don't let it take you
It's all that we have to keep rising
Learn to live again
Don't let it take you
It's all that we have to keep rising

Hands to our holsters I was quicker to the draw
But I left her still breathing by the grey blue light of dawn
Now away boys I roam battled and weathered
I am young still I know I will soon find another

Learn to live again - you keep rising
Learn to live again - you keep rising
Learn to live again - you keep rising
Learn to live again
