Rascals & Thieves Lyrics

Well I ride on the wings of the beautiful bird

Over the hill and far away

I stand with the kings in their castles superb

And watch their children play

And like a child in need of nothing except the sky

I don't know how, I don't know when

But if I lay eyes on that girl again

Hey this time she'll be more than a friend

And more than a rolling day

Well I stand on the shoulders of Plato and Freud

Their point of view to see

But if all this is true than all that must be void

How else could it be

And I for one am sure of nothing except that I

I don't know how, I don't know when

But if I catch sight of that girl again

Hey this time she'll be more than a friend

And more than a rolling day

Well the wind howls high and the sky sits low

The ocean is standing up

And the time draws nigh when the world will know

It's running out of luck

But time and tide they know no reason, and I

I don't know how, I don't know when

But if I lay eyes on that girl again

Hey this time she'll be more than a friend

And more than a rolling day

Hey more than a rolling day

And in the castles are rascals and thieves dressed in gold

Laughing at me out in the cold
