The Rider

The lights are coming on in the valley
and every palace dreamt of is behind me
These mountains that I cross are almost real
When all the world's asleep I'm
only dreaming

It causes no pain, it reaps no gain
It preaches no faith
if I sit firm and ride
the broken rhythm, if I ride
the broken rhythm, if I ride
taking all these losses in my stride

Well I'm not the one who chooses
the direction
The place I cannot go lies there before me
The only thing not here is what I'm missing
Not to speak at all I count my blessings

It causes no pain, it reaps no gain
It preaches no faith
if I sit firm and ride
the broken rhythm, if I ride
the broken rhythm, if I ride
taking all these losses in my stride

Among the clouds, he looks down from the mountain and sees his house
The lights are on, the smell of cooking voices coming through the walls
his warm bed, the woman he loves
But where can he go, only forward hounded by the sun, following the moon
hounded by the sun, following the moon
he rides on, he rides on, he rides on

And the lights are coming on in the valley
