jimmy webb - where words end lyrics

Loading...

i was a highwayman
along the coach roads i did ride
with the sword and pistol by my side
and many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
and many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
they fin’lly hung me in the spring of ’25
but i am still alive

i was a sailor
and i was born upon the tide
and with the sea i did abide
i sailed a schooner ’round the h-rn of mexico
i went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
and when the yards broke off they say that i got k!lled
but i am living still

i was a dam builder
across the river deep and wide
where steel and water did collide
a place called boulder on the wild colorado
i slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
but i am still around
seems like it all goes ’round and ’round
and ’round and ’round

i’ll fly a starship
across the universe divide
until i reach the other side
i’ll find a place to rest my spirit if i can
perhaps i may become a highwayman again
or i may simply be a single drop of rain
but i will remain
and i’ll be back again
and again, and again, and again
