To the Headless Horseman lyrics

[Verse 1]
Set out early, every seasoned rider knows
Keep an even pace, steady as she goes
Headed back to town after several nights away
I rode past you on the road again today

[Verse 2]
Gentle shadows in the mist among the trees
Who awakes prepared to face such sights as these?
God keep the bounty hunter who shows mercy to his prey
I rode past you on the road again today

[Bridge]
And as you approached I could sense the threat
But a stranger's just a friеnd who hasn't shared their secrеts yet

[Verse 3]
Make camp by sundown, watchfire burning bright
Songs bloom in the dark and throb down in the night
I seek the gate of wisdom, the secret state of play
I rode past you on the road again today

[Verse 4]
Rise up restless, get ready for the waterworks
Shun the hollow places where my marksman lurks
One of us will tire and one will rise and ride away
I rode past you on the road again today
