Lyrics

[00:13.87] Alas he was the highwayman
[00:19.45] The one that comes and goes
[00:25.04] And only the highway-woman
[00:30.81] Keeps up with the likes of those
[00:36.52] And she in all her magic
[00:41.39] With hands as quick as light
[00:47.09] Took him to be a challenge
[00:52.88] And went into the night
[01:02.00] And he in all his glory
[01:07.53] Was far ahead of her
[01:12.98] But she was never sorry
[01:18.51] For wishes that would burn
[01:24.58] Enter competition
[01:29.54] She chases beneath the moon
[01:34.75] Her horse is like a dragonfly
[01:40.94] She is just a fool
[01:48.59] And she wonders is this real
[01:53.87] Or does she just want to be Queen
[01:59.75] And he fights the way he feels
[02:05.42] Is this the end of the dream
[02:14.03] And then he sees her coming
[02:18.95] Heartbeats on the wind
[02:24.08] Considers slowing down
[02:29.20] But then he could never win
[02:34.83] And she out in the distance
[02:39.68] Sees him against the sky
[02:45.33] A pale and violent rider
[02:51.11] A dream begun in wine
[02:59.19] And she wonders is this real
[03:04.02] Or does she just want to be Queen
[03:09.68] And he fights the way he feels
[03:15.88] Is this the end of the dream
[03:29.10] A dream as the thunder wakes her
[03:34.42] And her highwayman disappears
[03:39.43] On a life already lived before
[03:45.58] In eyes welled with tears
[03:50.48] Today and still today they ride
[03:55.92] Will they ever win
[04:01.33] He the glory
[04:04.29] She the love
[04:06.96] Still they try again
[04:12.24] He the glory
[04:14.90] She the love
[04:17.66] Still they try again
[04:22.88] He the glory
[04:25.98] She the love
[04:31.50] And still they try again
