D-DU-UDU
Shut  your eyes my darlin', there's nothing  you can say.
 The man  in the moon won't fall  on you, he doesn't live  there anyway.
 You don't have  to be a soldier to fight  in your private war,
 Let the blood  you might see rain down  on me,
 You don't have  to fight no more.
 There's nothing  you can say,
 There's nothing  you can send.
 There's nothing  that can change  the facts
 Not all  the king's men.
 You'll ride upon the stallion, I'll ride  upon your mare.
 We'll ride  so far, ride  so hard, far  away from here.
When  we look back upon them, it all  will become so clear.
 The gates  will open up  for us, we won't have  no more fears.
Look  away, look away.
 You might  be tired and troubled but not today.
When  they came down upon you,
 I won't let  them get anything on you,
 And we'll dream  away,
All  those fears and troubles May, look away.
We  were both motherless children, they sent  us separate ways,
 The family  you'd seen beat down  on you, mine  it was okay.
 I've come  to take you back May, save  you from this fate
They  won't have any more chances  to treat  you in this way.
