The Highwayman - 2016 Remaster

Lyrics

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
