Lovers and nomads

we've ridden the caravan
traveled the trail
walked on the highwire
searched for the Grail
we've raced the wild chariot
journeyed the sands
braced the Northwind
and made a brave stand

we've taken the moonlight
and stored it away
we've stolen the starshine
the whole Milky Way
we've wandered in wonder
stood in the rain
raced through the nightlife
like a runaway train. . .

we've spent a King's ransom
and begged on the street
we've won many battles
yet have tasted defeat
we've captured the Rainbow
and tucked it away
then we lost the whole thing
on a hot summer day.
