Don't Reveal My Name

(アルバム： Shuffle And Go - 2020)

Don't reveal my name
When you get to the border
Don't you speak my name
When you walk upon the sea

Near the banks of the river
Where the waters call the faithful
Just forget you know my name
'Cause they will not let me be

Pity me young and foolish
With the pride of old Elijah
I've a taste for the liquor
That will set my spirit free

All the lovers I have taken
Keep me running after midnight
My name ever changing
So they cannot follow me

I worked in bars earning money
With a deck of cards to guide me
I could let them see the ace
Make it vanish in the air

Some say devil some said magic
My cards of light would fool them
Full of lies, twists and fortune
Outlaw, stranger, wild and free

Darkest night dealing trouble
To the edge of the table
Came a man chewing gold
Staring eyes that could not see

But he heard every deal
Of those fifty two companions
Pulled a gun on my game
Fired a bullet, misery

I lay for dead as the fight broke
Then I chanced and crawled for cover
Found my way to the back
And out into the night

Tricks and deals, friends and lovers
Left behind, and I'm still running
Now a price on my head
Where a rope waits hanging high

So don't reveal my name
When you get to the border
Don't you speak my name
When you walk upon the sea

Near the banks of the river
Where the waters call the faithful
Just forget you know my name
'Cause they will not let me be

Forget you know my name
'Cause they will not let me be
Forget you know my name
'Cause they will not let me be

Will not let me be
Will not let me be...
