these are the words fell from his mouth
'the King you seek you'll find him true
but only if he rides the road with you'

I stepped aboard a ship that flew
it took me to wherever it wanted to
Far above the land  far above the sea
the dreamer and the doer agreed to agree

I was sent to the war  stripped of my power
gagged and imprisoned in a tall dark tower
I must have cried for an age or more
till I saw through tears and I found the door

High on a cliff  in gorgeous clothes
a madman danced on the balls of his toes
Forgetting myself I fell at the feet
of the greatest Fool I ever did meet

The stars were bright and magic afoor
on the Summer wind rose the sound of a flute
I saw the musician - my heart knew him well
What happens next  no rhyme can tell

We came to the end of the world one day
A dolphin swan in a sheltered bay
I paid to the Kind what it was I owed
put my face to the wind and my foot on the road

I find I've wandered far from home
but home is in me wherever I roam
I thought I was an hour or a year behind
but the hours and the years are only time
