Lyrics

townsfolk gathered in the street, as tumbleweed danced, and rumors ran wild. mary sat, head in hands... as the duel unfolded, no she could not take sides.

shots fired - sent both men to their knees - one relieved, and one shot clean through. mary gasped... with a pistol crack memory flash through love, betrayal, and a man she once knew...

but she knows... when your maker comes to meet you, first he asks... then he calls... and she knows... time passes slow, until it don't... come and gone...

hot dust settled in the street, with honor defended, henry turned toward his wife. mary fell to her knees, she'd take the blood at his boots before the fire in his eyes.

she knows... when your maker comes to meet you, first he asks... then he calls... and she knows... time passes slow, until it don't... come and gone...

darkness settled on the house, in quiet resignation, mary acted the part... henry emtpied his glass, then emptied his bottle 'til the trembling stopped... a heavy handed man, for years he had taken 'til she could not give no more... 'til later that night, he passed out drunk and tired, she put a gun to his temple and let redemption rain down...

come and gone...
