Seth Lakeman - The Courier lyrics

rate me

Come the courier alone, the high road winds you loose,

Water smoothed the stones, but a weary figure stoops

Still in the night,

There’s a curse he must find

Come the courier alone, and the flurry of suffering

Past the low sinking bridge, for the surging river spring

Still in the night,

There’s a curse he must find

A mark in stone, the highway home

A mark in stone, the highway home

Come the courier alone, for the vivid woods ablaze

A wild fever forms the pinnacle of his gaze

Still in the night,

There’s a curse he must find

A mark in stone, the highway home

A mark in stone, the highway home

Come the courier alone, for a courting moon, so bright

Come the wayside crowd, the silhouette of grey and white

Still in the night,

There’s a curse he must find

A mark in stone, the highway home

A mark in stone, the highway home
