Ray Wylie Hubbard - Dangerous Spirits lyrics

Dangerous spirits are at large in the hills [d] Cold dark wings is in the air [d] [g] Some have been lost to the shadows within the light [d] [a] [d] Some are beyond the reach of prayer [d] I myself have stood with the ravens in the rain [d] A darkness in my heart and a younger face [d] [g] And with a stolen chestnut mare and a blue navy colt [d] [a] [d] I was above the law outside the bounds of grace [d] With a pistol in my hand and no kindness in my eyes [d] I wore these as a badge high in fashion [d] [g] but I had to walk away from the powder and the flame [d] [a] [d] The reason was not fear it was compa**ion [d] I let my revolver fall from my hands [d] And put on the coat of a pilgrim [d] [g] Now there is more to me than between my hat and boots [d] [a] [d] and the treasures I own no one can steal them Solo [d] Now I stand in the dirt with the dust on my boots [d] the road that I choose is less travelled [d] [g] the flag that I follow is full of holes and torn [d] [a] [d] And its sacred threads can never be unraveled [d] And I have met a woman who is in my breath and bones [d] She's at ease in either calico or leather [d] [g] She prays to a god who does not hurt or hate [d] [a] [d] She wears earrings of crystals and feathers Solo [d] Since I left my revolver in the dirt [d] I have known peace since that hour [d] [g] and now I see my life pa**ing before my eyes [d] [a] [d] As a petal falling from a flower [d] Ah but there are dangerous spirits are at large in the hills [d] Cold dark wings is in the air [d] [g] Some have been lost to the shadows within the light [d] [a] [d] Some are beyond the reach of prayer Outro solo
