Secret Voyage

One warm summer night 
He rode into sight 
On a wild mare that was so perfectly white 
I'd dreamed he'd return and I was right 
Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might 


One look in his eyes 
I had realized


His life was so simple he had no disguise 
He lived day to day, no promise he would stay 
But in these few words he stole my heart away


He said: My life's not to lead 
Through power or greed 
I am but a poor man when I'm cut I bleed 
A more humble man you never will meet 
And here is my heart for only you to keep. 


In the shade of the willow tree 
My poor peasant promised to me 


No scholarly thoughts, he couldn't pay high costs 
And sometimes it feels like he's totally lost 
But he said this true and he said it loud 
I promise you my heart with this solemn vow. 


 One warm summer night
He rode out of sight
On a wild mare that was so perfectly white
I'd dreamed he'd return and I was right
Wishes can come true when you wish with all your might...


In the shade of the willow tree 
My poor peasant promised to me.
