Oh gentleman of my sighs,
don't push me away.
I spent the night preparing,
all tucked in and eyes wide
and dragging my pretty face
through the dust of this town.
Let me have this moment
before you hold me up
with hands high and heavy pistols
at my waistline.
Give this girl something to remember
after you've burned it all down
in such well-mannered fashion.
