| ‘Til I Die |

Copyright © 2007, words and music by Dean Batstone Beneath my feet these rails of steel Front row grin with missing teeth Tequila Rose in faded jeans Washed in dirty blues and greens Steal I time or Steel-eye Jane Steal I kisses on this train I can’t steel you, though I’ve tried So I’ll dream you ‘til I die Hold the bottle, hold the blade Hold one promise I have made I can’t hold you, still I’ve tried So I’ll dream you ‘til I die Through the window, speeding glass You’re a freeze frame from my past Lines on faces born from pain Leather cracked from sun and rain All you young James Dean’s who crashed Live forever in these cracks I can’t live you, though I’ve tried So I’ll dream you ‘til I die Through the broken timberline Comes the sun, son, let it shine…. Hear the distant church bell toll Trying to call back one lost soul I can’t pray you to my side So I’ll dream you ‘til I die Love the falling, love the rise Love the shadows, love that shine Love this beauty, love you mine I will love you ‘til I die.
