Sanctuary [Rock in Rio] Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out of winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels

[Chorus 1]
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

[Verse 2]
I met up with a stranger last night to keep me alive
He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive

[Chorus 1]
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

[Chorus 2]
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight
Tonight

[Chorus 1]
I know you'd have gone insane If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law
[Verse 3]
Oh, I can laugh at the wind (ha ha ha!)
I can howl at the rain (Ow!)
Down in the canyon
Or out on the plains

[Chorus 1]
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

[Chorus 2]
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight
Tonight
Love me tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
