1) As I lie awake
watching you sleep
in my embrace
caressing your head
listening to you breath
stunned by your grace

oh how the time flies by
tomorrow I'll be miles away

R) I'm a vagabound, a highwayman
who's bound to the road
although it brings me to my knees
I've gotta let go of you I know
please turn a little light on
for someday it'll guide me home

2) As I lay close
your body's perfect shape
we do it once more
covered in pearls of sweat
'cause none of us
wants to fall asleep

time's too short we know
so we cherish ev'rything we do

R) I'm a vagabound, a highwayman
who's bound to the road
although it brings me to my knees
I've gotta let go of you I know
please turn a little light on
for someday it'll guide me home

B) Guess it has no use to try
when it makes me feel buried alive
I gotta hold the course
for better or worse
