The plane shook again.

This time panting with sweat washed down

I think eggs in the head got fried by the sun
Braking backs for that money run
This could be anyone

Well they all had the ships all lined up one by one
But the captain didn't want to say another word
When night fall came
They all went back to bed

felt the sweat drip down his cheek

Two, four, six riders
With a speed
That'll shake a tiger
Silver, worn, capable guns
I'm sorry boy
But today your done

He saw starlight & a big fight that never came

And he

was too tightly spun
When you came unraveled, girl
You really got strung out
And if you ever wind back up
Well, that's somethin' I doubt

Oh,

They were such the unlikely pair She grew up here, he grew up there
They met by accident One look and their senses went
Anyone could see the passion

headed anywhere but town to town
Drove by a cemetery and a thought came to his mind

Her rose-colored

He noticed you when you walked by
Fifteen minutes came and went
He figured that you must have left
His best friend said

Andreas Scholl: Wayfaring Stranger

2001

What makes you sail so nigh?
I'm a rich merchant bound for fair London town,
London Town, London Town
Will you please for to let me pass by?

Our friendship grew and grew
And when a friend's in need
