[00:21.15] |
Through the woodland, through the valley |
[00:23.76] |
Comes a horseman wild and free |
[00:26.06] |
Tilting at the windmills passing |
[00:28.65] |
Who can the brave young horseman be |
[00:30.84] |
He is wild but he is mellow |
[00:33.27] |
He is strong but he is weak |
[00:35.72] |
He is cruel but he is gentle |
[00:38.44] |
He is wise but he is meek |
[00:42.94] |
Reaching for his saddlebag |
[00:45.35] |
He takes a battered book into his hand |
[00:50.10] |
Standing like a prophet bold |
[00:52.68] |
He shouts across the ocean to the shore |
[00:56.50] |
Till he can shout no more |
[01:00.54] |
I have come o'er moor and mountain |
[01:02.97] |
Like the hawk upon the wing |
[01:05.38] |
I was once a shining knight |
[01:07.86] |
Who was the guardian of a king |
[01:10.37] |
I have searched the whole world over |
[01:13.21] |
Looking for a place to sleep |
[01:15.45] |
I have seen the strong survive |
[01:17.90] |
And I have seen the lean grown weak |
[01:25.37] |
See the children of the earth |
[01:27.81] |
Who wake to find the table bare |
[01:30.30] |
See the gentry in the country |
[01:32.82] |
Riding off to take the air |
[01:37.31] |
Reaching for his saddlebag |
[01:39.82] |
He takes a rusty sword into his hand |
[01:44.60] |
Then striking up a knightly pose |
[01:47.30] |
He shouts across the ocean to the shore |
[01:50.99] |
Till he can shout no more |
[01:55.06] |
See the jailor with his key |
[01:57.38] |
Who locks away all trace of sin |
[01:59.90] |
See the judge upon the bench |
[02:02.37] |
Who tries the case as best he can |
[02:05.26] |
See the wise and wicked ones |
[02:07.47] |
Who feed upon life's sacred fire |
[02:10.18] |
See the soldier with his gun |
[02:12.31] |
Who must be dead to be admired |
[02:19.82] |
See the man who tips the needle |
[02:22.65] |
See the man who buys and sells |
[02:25.19] |
See the man who puts the collar |
[02:27.61] |
On the ones who dare not tell |
[02:30.00] |
See the drunkard in the tavern |
[02:32.69] |
Stemming gold to make ends meet |
[02:34.85] |
See the youth in ghetto black |
[02:37.22] |
Condemned to life upon the street |
[02:41.87] |
Reaching for his saddlebag |
[02:44.37] |
He takes a tarnished cross into his hand |
[02:49.11] |
Then standing like a preacher now |
[02:51.76] |
He shouts across the ocean to the shore |
[02:55.63] |
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves |
[02:59.74] |
He gallops off across the dusty plain |
[03:03.36] |
In vain to search again |
[03:05.96] |
Where no one will hear |
[03:14.30] |
Through the woodland, through the valley |
[03:16.62] |
Comes a horseman wild and free |
[03:18.86] |
Tilting at the windmills passing |
[03:21.56] |
Who can the brave young horseman be |
[03:23.96] |
He is wild but he is mellow |
[03:26.30] |
He is strong but he is weak |
[03:28.86] |
He is cruel but he is gentle |
[03:31.41] |
He is wise but he is meek |
[03:52.87] |
