lyrics

Highwayman Blues

Could of been a highwayman
Or a diamond clustered barrel
Barrel of fun yeah
Could of been anyone
Could of been a bottle of gin
Could of been a bottle of rum
Could of been a sister seagull
She’s crying to the sky

But it’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been anyone

Could of been a lone wolf
Travelling through this world alone
Could of been someone else
A million stories left untold

But it’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Such a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been a highwayman

Many hearts broke on the way
Many debts yet to be payed
Many rivers they have flowed
Many winds they have blowed
Many fortunes have been made
Many treasures have been gained
In the end, it’s all the same

Could of been a highwayman
Or a diamond clustered barrel
Barrel of fun yeah
Could of been... someone

But it’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Such a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been anyone

But it’s a long...
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
It’s a long time ago
(I did seek the world)
Could of been a highwayman

What are dreams for?
What are dreams for?
What are dreams for?

Oh what are dreams for?
Oh what are dreams for?
Oh what are dreams for?
