Carpenter - Face The Rain lyrics

I faced the lion of the thoughts in my head And the shark of my fear til the water was red I tried to salvage what was left of my friends But couldn't stand for all their modern day trends I fought a battle of a thousand to one Saw bodies fall through the smoke of my gun But I left them all to face the rain But I left them all to face the rain I headed east towards the wheat and the rye Past johnny law and his all seeing eye I wouldn't have it, try to lock me away They shot me down on a dark day in May But I left them all to face the rain But I left them all to face the rain
