lyrics

I've been traveling far from home
Searching vainly for some glory
And returning all alone
No one whom to tell my story

Winged shadows fill the air
And secret beasties rule the evening
I've no one to whom to say my prayers
I've no one whom I can believe in

The wind is tugging at my sleeves
And whispering sweetly through the forest
I make my bed among the leaves
No one whom to sing my chorus

(Lalalala la la lalala la la la)

I travel quickly as I can
To stay ahead of the machinery
That's been creeping 'cross the land
And devouring all the scenery

I've a love I lost in time
She may even not yet know me
But when I hold her little hand in mine
She will be my one and only

(Lalalala la la lalala la la la)

I'll be back from far away
To return the things I've borrowed
Though there's no numbering that day
It'll come as surely as tomorrow

When I shine my little light
When I get all up in glory
Before my mind runs out of sight
I'll have someone whom to tell my story
