There's a fire which you can't see burning
There's a voice on the wind
And it's telling who's sinned
It belongs to the sad lonesome stranger
Who's been cheated so long
He's forgotten the song
And you can't see his eyes or his longing-
-A hat pulled down low
Hides the price on his soul
There's a ship which won't be long coming;
So when he gets on board
You just whisper the word
Takes a last look over his shoulder
Sees the sun going down
Watched by no one around
So where are his friends now he needs them?
It was all they could do
To start life anew
So they've left taking memories with them
But with those who have cared
A sweet magic is shared
And its' charm will always be with us
Clear and sharp as a sword, So just whisper the word
They say there's a country where the streets are paved with gold
Where a man can find shelter far away from the cold
And I'm sailing out to find it before I'm too old
Come summer
