Busted Gulch vol. 4

Time to Collect (Billy)

Time to Collect 

I collect the bodies one by one

Some found their life

Ended by a knife

Others a gun

But as always this is a day

No one has won.

They lie in pile

As I wait for awhile

For the undertaker

To take them to their maker

Still my mind

I find

I can push the death away

It's just another day

Then I think of Rue

Who's fooling who

I still wonder how can it be

She loves a killer like me

Sure I'm doing my time

Trying to repay my crimes

But what happens if that day comes

Will I be ripped from

All that I dream

Of having?

What if I never do?

What will happen to Rue?

I will never age, never die

To know I'll some day lose her

Strikes fear in my heart

I cannot lie.

Yet Geronimo said it's a second chance

I got a glance

Of what we could be

Of a family

And I have to admit

My feelings are legit

I want it so bad

All that I never had

I hear wagon wheels grind to a halt

I hurt her, it's my fault

But now I wonder should I let her go

I have no answers, I just don't know

We toss the bodies

1, 2, 3

Damn It, Rue

I want what could be

I know I have no right to ask

Unger said we're done our task

He then I, climb aboard.

She's all I want

So, help me Lord.

I have to find a way to make her see

She is all there is to me

Without her my life is empty

A pathetic existence for all eternity

We get to town

I jump down

More determined then ever

To have her forever

When who do I see

Riding into BG

Other then the Chief

And to my disbelief

He comes with a young buck

"Well don't that just suck."
