Lyrics

Solemn faced
 The village settles down
 Undetected by the stars
 And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
 And the last thing on his mind
 Is the wild eyed boy imprisoned
 'Neath the covered wooden shaft
 Folds the rope into its bag
 Blows his pipe of smolders
 Blankets smoke into the room
 And the day will end for some
 As the night begins for one
 ♪
 Staring through the message in his eyes
 Lies a solitary son
 From the mountain called Freecloud
 Where the eagle dare not fly
 And the patience in his sigh
 Gives no indication
 For the townsmen to decide
 So the village dreadful yawns
 Pronouncing gross diversion
 As the label for the dog
 Oh, "It's the madness in his eyes"
 As he breaks the night to cry:
 It's really me
 Really you and really me
 It's so hard for us to really be
 Really you and really me
 You'll lose me, though I'm always
 Really free
 And the mountain moved its eyes
 To the world of realize
 Where the snow had saved a place
 For the wild eyed boy from Freecloud
 And the village dreadful cried
 As the rope began to rise
 For the smile stayed on the face
 Of the wild eyed boy from Freecloud
 And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd
 As the boulders smashed down from the mountain's hand
 And the magic in the stare
 Of the wild eyed boy said
 "Stop, Freecloud
 They won't think to cut me down"
 ♪
 But the cottages fell
 Like a playing card hell
 And the tears on the face
 Of the wise boy
 Came tumbling down
 To the rumbling ground
 And the missionary mystic of peace-love
 Stumbled back to cry among the clouds
 ♪
 Kicking back the pebbles
 From the Freecloud mountain track
