The Highwayman Lyrics

The Highwayman lyrics

Alas he was the highwayman 

 The one that comes and goes 

 And only the highway-woman 

 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 the 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 the dream 

  

  

 A dream as the thunder wakes her 

 And her highwayman disappears 

 on 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... 

 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
