Lyrics Awoken By Gunfire - Lost Dog Street Band

Awoken By Gunfire

I had a dream the other night under an open sky
There was everything I’d spent my whole life to find
So I set down my hat and tried to admire
But I was awoken by gunfire, lord I was awoken by gunfire
Have you felt the sweetest sorrow, the pain in laughter, heaven or hell?
Lord I know I may die tomorrow my bodies borrowed so I don’t care
Hearin' the howls of a pack of coyotes high on a mountain cold and alone
I pray your name oh so gently i love you dearly i hope you know
I’ve fought back tears I’ve been mean and angry took life for granted for too
many years
But I know now and i’m sore and sorry I’s blind and ornery now I see clear
