Alas he was the highwayman The one that 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 challange 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 compitition 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 And still they try again He the glory, she the love And still they try again

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 lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five but I am still alive. I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide and with the sea I did abide. I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled 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 will always be around I fly a starship across the Universe divide and when I reach the other side I will 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 will be back again

I was in a tunnel And couldn't see the light And whenever I'd look up I couldn't see the sky Sometimes when I'm standin' It seems like I done walked for miles And my heart could be cryin' Dead in the middle of a smile But then I climbed the hills And saw the mountains I hollered help 'cause I was lost Then I felt the strong wind Heard a small voice sayin' The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Come on and set me free, whoa Now in the midst of my battle All hope was gone Downtown in a rushed crowd And felt all alone And every now and then I felt like I would lose my mind I've been racin' for years And still no finish line, oh But then I climbed the hills And saw the mountains (Mountains) I hollered help 'cause I was lost Then I felt the strong wind And then a small voice sayin' The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Come on and set me free Somehow my beginning stepped right in (Right in) Then faith became my friend (My friend) And now I can depend On the voices of the wind When it's sayin' (Sayin') The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Won't you come and set me free Won't you set me free The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Won't you come and set me free
