Tonight I Will Retire Lyrics

Tonight I Will Retire



Oh tonight I will retire

To the arms of my lover

The sweetest kiss she will give

As I lay down beside her



What will she think

When she awakes

Just to find I have left here



Oh tonight I will retire

To these hands with revolver

And I don't fear death

I will commit 

Like an old friend I've known forever



So come on in, take me on

No I won't stay here no longer



And if I should taste fire

Save me not, I deserve to die



And oh tonight I will retire

To loving arms of my savior

And we will walk through his gates

To the skies of Heaven



And no more tears will I cry

Are my sins, are they forgiven



And if I should taste fire

Save me not, I deserve to die
