"Our Time Is Tonight" Lyrics

The road was muddy, there was no electricity.
The wind was a' whistlin', shakin' up the house by the sea
A man in a black suit on a dark horse came steeling
The dog was restless, howling at a devilish moon.
The old man was pacing, swearing in an ancient tongue
The young girl was climbin' from her window rung by rung

Chorus:
Run, lover! Run, lover! Run, lover, into the night!
Ah your mind is made, forget about wrong and right!
Oh run, lover! Run, lover! Run, lover, into the night!
There's a time for everything, and our time is tonight.

"Tell me, daughter. Tell me where your daddy went wrong.
"I put food on the table, and a house built safe and strong
"Mother, run to the back porch, and swiftly get my gun!"
He aimed at the stranger standing at the end of the lane.
He was thinkin' of his daughter, thinkin' of the family name.
Then he put the gun down, said "I'm not that kind of man".

Chorus

She climbed on the horse and rode into a Northwest wind.
Wrapped her arms around the stranger, whispered softly, "thanks for coming"
He said "giddy up, baby, and never look back again".
