[00:25.00]Solemn faced
[00:26.06]
[00:26.63]The village settles down
[00:28.31]
[00:29.88]Undetected by the stars
[00:32.06]
[00:35.69]And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
[00:41.69]
[00:44.94]And the last thing on his mind
[00:47.31]
[00:48.06]Is the wild eyed boy imprisoned
[00:53.63]
[00:54.75]Neath the covered wooden shaft
[00:57.13]
[01:00.69]Folds the rope
[01:01.75]Into its bag
[01:03.19]
[01:06.94]Blows his pipe of smolders
[01:09.25]
[01:09.94]Blankets smoke into the room
[01:12.50]
[01:15.81]And the day will end for some
[01:18.50]
[01:19.13]As the night begins for one
[01:26.42]
[01:33.71]Staring through the message in his eyes
[01:37.68]
[01:38.30]Lies a solitary son
[01:41.55]
[01:44.61]From the mountain called freecloud
[01:47.87]
[01:48.37]Where the eagle dare not fly
[01:51.87]
[01:54.11]And the patience in his sigh
[01:57.80]
[02:00.62]Gives no indication
[02:03.11]
[02:03.68]For the townsmen to decide
[02:07.05]
[02:09.55]So the village dreadful yawns
[02:13.93]
[02:16.05]Pronouncing gross diversion
[02:18.86]
[02:19.80]As the label for the dog
[02:21.55]
[02:24.24]Oh its the madness in his eyes
[02:27.30]
[02:30.97]As he breaks the night to cry
[02:33.92]
[02:34.72]Its really me
[02:39.36]
[02:40.22]Really you
[02:41.54]And really me
[02:45.66]
[02:47.04]Its so hard for us to really be
[02:54.17]
[02:55.54]Really you
[02:56.67]And really me
[02:57.79]
[03:01.22]Youll lose me though Im always really free
[03:05.92]
[03:16.79]And the mountain moved its eyes
[03:18.79]
[03:19.79]To the world of realize
[03:22.41]
[03:23.36]Where the snow had saved a place
[03:25.85]
[03:26.92]For the wild eyed boy from freecloud
[03:29.54]
[03:32.54]And the village dreadful cried
[03:35.79]As the rope began to rise
[03:38.92]
[03:39.54]For the smile stayed on the face
[03:41.79]
[03:42.85]Of the wild eyed boy from freecloud
[03:45.22]
[03:48.29]And the women once proud
[03:49.92]Clutched the heart of the crowd
[03:51.61]As the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand
[03:54.04]
[03:55.42]And the magic in the stare
[03:57.21]Of the wild eyed boy, said
[03:59.27]Stop, freecloud
[04:01.21]They wont think to cut me down
[04:03.27]
[04:09.90]But the cottages fell
[04:11.14]Like a playing card hell
[04:13.01]And the tears on the face
[04:14.52]Of the wise boy
[04:15.77]
[04:17.08]Came trembling down
[04:18.46]To the rumbling ground
[04:20.58]And the missionary mystic of peace/love
[04:23.40]
[04:24.83]Stumbled to cry among the clouds
[04:28.84]
[04:36.72]Kicking back the pebbles
[04:40.78]From the freecloud mountain track
