Stone Coyotes (The)
Rectified
Waiting at the windowFor a daughter coming homeThe words unspokenShe's on that road aloneFear and trepidationAs they watched the shadows fallNo laughter at the gateSilence in the hallAnd another was waitingFor that sweet and tender childAnger in his heartMurder in the smileThere at the last bendHe struck and there she diedIf we live long enoughWe'll see it rectifiedThe forest kept watchTill the breaking of the dayWhen that cold still formWas gently borne awayAnd echoed through the treesMen, let's saddle up and rideIf we live long enoughWe'll see this rectifiedLetras de cancionesThey rode through the dayAnd they rode through the nightCame upon a campfireStill smoldering whiteAnd echoed again through the treesYou can run but you can't hideIf we live long enoughWe'll see it rectifiedThey found the coward tremblingWith voices hard and lowThey said, We could kill you hereAnd none would ever knowBut we'll take you to a prison cellDream of gallows high and wideWe lived long enoughTo see it rectifiedThere's a long stretch of highwayWith weeds overgrownThat hide a marker of pale grey stoneIt tells the story -Here she lived and here she diedBut they lived long enoughTo see it rectified
