The Hanged Man & The Fool Lyrics

Here I am aboard a plane

One-way ticket in hand

Soon I'll land in a better land

With my guitar and my suitcase

Nothing holds for me in my hometown anymore

It never did anyway, it never will I'm sure

I know there will be no one

Waiting at the kiss-and-ride

I'm travelling on my own no one by my side

The road is surely long

But alone I go on

There's no way back home when you roll a stone

My hopes have been sown

My dreams have been windblown

The rain poured down, the sun shone

Will I ever see them grown

Every risk is worth trying to be the first when you're the last

I'm so thirsty, hungry,

Hunger for first, want a fest, want it fast

There will be so many towns

Coaches train stations

I'll go singing my songs and my name will be known

To me dying unknown, it's like never being born

The songs that I strum

I wanna hear them hummed

For long time to come

I'll take life as it comes

Living each day one by one

Will I be on a roll or will I fail to cope?

Roll on gold, roll on

I waited long enough

You try and try to reach the top

But you're on a downward slope

Before you have enjoyed the warm light of the sun

You can't avoid the flipside

A night dark and cold

I know I'm still young

But soon I'll be in a box

Buried in the ground with my skull and my bones

Worm food and gone
