Highwayman Songtext
von Lars Bygdén

I was a highwayman
Along the coast roads I did ride
Sword and pistol by my side
Many young men lost their bubbles to my trade
Many soldiers shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of ′25
But I am still alive

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed
But I am living still


I was a dam builder
On 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 old tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I′ll always be around
And around, and around, and around, and around

I fly a starship
'Cross the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Maybe I'll become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
I′ll come back again
And again, and again, and again, and again, and again
