Got to get away ©

Moonlight tickles her fantasies.
Her heart pounds with joyful fright.
We make Love until the morning light...
Yes, the woman understands.
She's got a fragile heart;
I'll handle it with care.

Oh, life's unfair!!!

I'm on the run everyday.
I've got to stay away
From women entangled,
woman dismayed,
Woman of pain,
I've got to get away.

But I can't live without... I just want to shout.....

Woman ya got what it takes and I know
I'll keep on loving you even though we're through.
The bullet was spent, the body decayed,
the life we both knew is history.
Now only memories singe the frail strings..
but I'll keep holding on
to the good times... hanging on to my dreams....

oh that's why I've got to get away.....
