Last night he passed the bars
with his eyes down to the floor
He was thrown into a dream
where he knew himself no more
A watcher in the doors of all his songs
Now passing through the city,
He wanders round the corner,
his head still in a dream
Sees young love at a table laughing free
Wonders how love ever came to be
We see battles for the latest feat
We see heroes cryin' in defeat
All the lovers of the past and
Flowing through the street
From the doorways, curling as she
through the matting bride
He has music in the heart,
Spies the sleight of hand
Sees him as a man born to live wild
Sees him riding through a darkened valley
Sees him climbing over castle walls
See him steal into the highest quarters
See him move into the low times
See him move all he wants into his pines
All the sadnesses run fast in a random
All the happiness laid out in heaven
All the lifetimes of the past and future
And he sees himself bleed
