The Journey
Sorrow as gallows around my neck,
and in my heart it bites like a snake
a strange journey I'd like to make,
with no,no end.
My road slowly to seek, to seek
but nowhere and never a place to lie
I soul not to find, or always by
people blind and deaf to bring my leap.
Around me a loneliness great
the houses shut, extinguished the fires
above me there 'll be no starlights
and down no woman ahead.
Hey! If I find myself in a journey like this,
strange and desolate, in unknown land
I 'll have no such lust by your hand
Love, such us now, to be missed!!!
