You came walking a long way
you were covered all in dust
your eyes were staring at me
while playing your guitar
playing softly
playing swiftly
I came walking a long way
just for another job
I saw her in the crowd
and I looked her in the eyes
playing softly
playing swiftly
One little moment, vacations from eternity
smile before you shoot me down
tear me to pieces, break my heart and run away
just smile before you shoot me down
Then you walked right at me
and kissed me with a smile
saying: sorry I can't stay
and then you took your gun
killing softly
killing swiftly
I couldn't help but kiss her
even knowing I would leave
I gave her a last smile
and then I saw her gun
killing softly
killing swiftly
One little moment, vacations from eternity
smile before you shoot me down
tear me to pieces, break my heart and run away
just smile before you shoot me down
