Sexy, romantic, poignant and tinged with tragedy, Kris is imagined viewing stallions through the prism of the three famous ladies in his life: Janis Joplin, Rita Coolidge and, finally, Barbra Streisand.
Stallion (by Kris Kristofferson, from "Who's to Bless and Who's to Blame")
Stay if you want to, don't be ashamed.
Leavin' is easy Lord, losin's the same.
Life is a promise nobody keeps.
Lay yourself down girl, rock me to sleep.
We were the wild ones, proud in our prime,
me and the stallion, Lord, one of a kind.
See how we run, Lord, see how we fall,
ridin' for moonlight we done it all.
Well, the daylight was dyin', rooks in the wind.
She stood before me, stripped to the skin.
Next to my stallion she purely shone,
glidin' the moonlight, starlight and stone.
The moonlight is silver, starlight is cold.
Waking to laughter, shaking my soul,
she was running my stallion, naked and free,
ridin' for moonlight, gone like the dream.
So stay if you want to, don't be ashamed.
Leavin' is easy, Lord, losin's the same.
Life is a promise nobody keeps.
Lay yourself down girl, rock me to sleep.
