I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
Many a soldier shed his life's blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twentyfive
But I am still alive
I was a sailor,
I was born upon the tide
With the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off,
They said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called boulder on the wild colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around, and around, and around,
and around, and around, and around, and around.
I'll fly a starship
'Cross the universe divide
And when I reach the other side,
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again, and again,
and again, and again, and again, and again. |
