Troubador
 


Time rides with the night wind
And follows on the dawn.
Before you've started living it
Your life has nearly gone.
You know you can't go home again
You fear you can't go on:
Come hear the troubador
He's playing you a song.

You'll share the dusty memories
Of all his broken days
And wander through the wonders
Of life's never-ending maze.
Still searching for a homeland
A place where he can stay:
Come listen to the troubador
Before he slips away.

Confusion rules the country
And nightmare stalks the shore:
Hide your wife and children
Set guards upon your door,
For death's the only victor
Upon the field of war ~
So leave him empty-handed:
Come hear the troubador.
