A Stonehenge Throw Away

I saw him down below
By the fire of my foe.
I steadied my crossbow,
And let one arrow go.

A dog let out one bark;
The fire gave off one spark.
Slipping fast through the dark,
The arrow found its mark.

It's not so far from Stonehenge
To where we're living today.
There's nothing new to revenge,
It's still old, still cold, still gray.
It's not so far from Stonehenge -
Just a Stonehenge throw away.

He began all this strife;
He'd spoken to my wife.
I swore I'd take his life -
He was good with a knife.

Fighting him hand to hand
Wasn't what I had planned.
Drew my line in the sand
With my gold wedding band.

It's not so far from Stonehenge
To where we're living today.
There's nothing new to revenge;
It's still old, still cold, still gray.
It's not so far from Stonehenge -
Just a Stonehenge throw away.

Who said blood will have blood?
Was it someone sacred
Who wrote it in the mud
After the last Great Flood?

I knew she'd love me more;
That's what I did it for.
I settled an old score -
Love and lust, nothing more.

It's not so far from Stonehenge
To where we're living today.
There's nothing new to revenge;
It's still old, still cold, still gray.
It's not so far from Stonehenge -
Just a Stonehenge throw away.

Celebrate my success!
Put on that new green dress!
No need to second guess.
Touch me with tenderness.

We'll dance under the stars,
Down by the old coal cars.
Dance to the three guitars;
Dance away all our scars!
