"DREAMS DIE FAST"
Artist: CIVIL DEFIANCE
Album: THE FISHERS FOR SOULS

lyrics

She's yelling again
So you and Mescal sneak into the night
Uncap the bottle
Let your compadre breathe
He's a welcome sight
Another sip or two
And a cloud cover
Hides the real world from your tired eyes

Feeling death within your bones
The black fever sleep approach
Just don't slip away
Cause once they last
Once they want to start
Dreams die fast

You dream of those days
In a desert cantina
That senorita
Who raised the dust off the tables
As you leaned on the bar
And watch from afar
Through the deserts door
The riders crossed the sawdust floor
To mention no more

Shots ring out in the barrio night
Don't slip away now
Faded out of sight
Don't slip away
Cause once they last
Once they want to start
Dreams die fast

Cause I see the lights of gold
Off the border of Mexico
She always knew she'd never go
Cause she knew that I loved her so
I loved her so
