Luka Bloom - Lonesome Robin lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Rise up from your bed of straw

See if you can bend that short bow one last time

Speak from your wounds and say you don't care

You know it'll prey on your mind

Wherever your arrow it falls to the ground

Lay lonesome Robin down one last time

(Chorus)

No more, Robin, no more

Your outlaw days are over

(Verse)

When you were a little boy

You had to go to bed early while the sun still shone

Just like sleep was the end of the world

And tomorrow would never never come

So now lonesome Robin won't you close your eyes

So that the sun it will rise one last time

(Chorus)

No more, Robin, no more

Your outlaw days are over

(Verse)

It's funny how hot is the sun

Now that you can't run away from the city

Just lie there and think of the deer you have run

And of all the games that you've played

And wondering what Marian's bound to do that's better

Than coming to see you one last time

(Chorus)

No more, Robin, no more

Your outlaw days are over

(Verse)

And time's taken your time away

Time and deceptions have whittled you down

All of the times that ever you had

Have took to their heels and run

Hold on to whatever is closest to you

That's all lonesome Robin can do one last time

(Chorus)

No more, Robin, no more

Your outlaw days are over
