The Highwayman - 2016 Remaster
Alas, he was the highwayman
The one who comes and goes
And only the highwaywoman
Keeps up with the likes of those
And she in all her magic
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge
And went into the night
And he in all his glory
Was far ahead of her
But she was never sorry
For wishes that would burn
Enter competition
She chases beneath the moon
Her horse is like a dragonfly
She is just a fool
And she wonders, is this real?
Or does she just want to be queen?
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of a dream?
And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then he could never win
And she out in the distance
Sees him against the sky
A pale and violent rider
A dream begun in wine
And she wonders, is this real?
Or does she just want to be queen?
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of a dream?
A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
Or a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears
Today and still today they ride
Will they ever win?
He the glory
She the love
And still they try again
He the glory
She the love
Still they try again
He the glory
She the love
And still they try again
The one who comes and goes
And only the highwaywoman
Keeps up with the likes of those
And she in all her magic
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge
And went into the night
And he in all his glory
Was far ahead of her
But she was never sorry
For wishes that would burn
Enter competition
She chases beneath the moon
Her horse is like a dragonfly
She is just a fool
And she wonders, is this real?
Or does she just want to be queen?
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of a dream?
And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then he could never win
And she out in the distance
Sees him against the sky
A pale and violent rider
A dream begun in wine
And she wonders, is this real?
Or does she just want to be queen?
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of a dream?
A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
Or a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears
Today and still today they ride
Will they ever win?
He the glory
She the love
And still they try again
He the glory
She the love
Still they try again
He the glory
She the love
And still they try again
