words at twenty paces þarký sözü

words and music by hugh moffatt
just like a western movie, a challenge has been made.
a shot was fired in anger, and pride stepped off the train.
won´t we ever stop this killin´, me and you, till our hearts are up on boot hill and there´s nothing we can do?
chorus:
words at twenty paces, anger at high noon.
this house ain´t big enough for both of us. it´s comin´ soon.
we´ll finish off our happiness and run hope out of town.
with words at twenty paces, lord, it´s love we´re gunnin´ down.
bridge:
how did we ever lose the dreams we used to share, the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care?
sometimes you words cut like a bullet in my side.
oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride?
i´ve got my ammunition. i know you´ve got yours too.
we know each other´s weakness; lord, the damage we can do.
why can´t we just step aside and put our guns away?
let love come like the cavalry: ride in and save the day?
chorus
