Ride Alone

Upon my trusty board I ride
No one ever by my side
The way it is
I ride alone

For many partners I have tried
But one by one they've surely died
That's why
I ride alone

I'd like to share this nice seaside
With someone I could call my bride
Too many years spent on my own
But cursed I know that I must be
Stuck in this world so solitary
You see
I ride alone
I ride alone

I see a handsome shape draw near
In my hotel he downs a beer
Those eyes
I'm somewhat thrown

He asks if he can have a room
Says that it's for one not two
Because he sleeps alone

I take him to the winding stair
I see his gorgeous long black hair
Inside I moan
Show him to the bedroom door
I want so much to ask for more
Been too long here on my own

Here on my own

Excuse me now you'll understand
I'd like to take you by the hand
But I'm cursed
This much I've known

I'd like to have my way with you
But that's something that I cannot do
Cos soon you'll be dead and gone

But just this once
Just once maybe
Come and lie beside of me
Give me love I've never known
Break this curse and break this spell
Come release me from my hell
Come here
Ride me alone
Ride me alone

For many hours that single night
He loved me 'til the morning light
But I woke to find him gone

And in the morn
When I awoke
I saw three words upon a note
Which read
I ride alone

I wonder now where he must be
And how he just abandoned me
And the child
He's never known
But I will wait
I will yearn
Until that day when he returns
Till then
I ride alone
I ride alone
