Sting & Police - This Cowboy Song lyrics

As I clear my mind enough to see

Decaying pieces of my being that have fallen on me

I find the one clean cut that has given the wrath

Beneath the deep and cleansing fire that is shaping the path

I've had all my life to fall in place

I watch all my past in right decay

And with every step that shames my face

I see all my pieces catch ablaze

CHORUS:

The pain is fading, now you're leaving me alone.

I can't stop bleeding, I'm depleting on my own

I can't bury every form I've seen

The hollow pieces of perfection are embedded in me

And with every step the walls give way

And in the shadow of deceit I can see you fade

I've seen all those dreams we try to hide

And the sound of honesty's reply

But I'm not that man you've seen inside

He was born so pure but then he died

(CHORUS)

With every word I breathe out

I feel it escaping from my soul

With every thought created

Omission leaving me so cold

I've seen inside the downward fall

Remember all the filth I saw

I've seen inside the downward fall

Remember everything I saw

(CHORUS)
