Utopian Tears

It's time to go
Farewell was long ago
Not even a hand to let me go
The sun eclipse o' my water blue
Live until forever
Utopian tears will always shed the truth

Rolling down across the jalapeno sun
A natural gambler is never done
I saw her when I escaped
I took the guards by surprise
There was something so familiar
When I rose up and looked into her diamond eyes

I couldn't skip town without her
It was life or death
Rising above, trying not to fall
Victim to the hunters of blood
Six shot lover on malicious grounds fired away
Take my hand, sweet Dahlia
Let's give romance a chance
Come and run away with me

Alarming bells ring
By the gypsies in disguise
If we escape this place alive
I'll keep her by my side
A tequila sky begun
With me and Dahlia on the run
Utopian tears heal the pain
Utopian tears are all that remain

When times get real rough
You start watching your footsteps
Have you ever gone to that place
That place so free
A lost, heavy dream is all it seems to be
Flavours of trees and the rainbow rose
As far off as the eye can see

Release your fears so that your heart can hear
Life can cut you up like dust
Lyin' on a sharp, edged stone
All the way to the rust tears yet another hole
I was blinded but I could feel utopian tears

I used to spend a lot of time by the riverside
That's where I truly learned to fly
There is no storm strong enough to tame
The burn of your reigning, undenying flame
There were times when I was sure I'd never see you again
It was a summer outta hell blood and tears were shed
It's all over now but it just began
We've got seas to cross and miles ahead

But when the night fell dark
That shot was our key to release
I want to be your lover sweet Dahlia
And I declare you the queen
We might not live to see our wildest dreams of bliss
The horizon of freedom as we raced away
Wounded in an everlasting kiss
