Povremeno, samo povremeno, prisjetim se neke pjesme i onda je ne mogu prestati slušati. Ovu pjesmu obožavam (u izvedbi svetog trojstva johnny cash, willie nelson, kris kristoferson) i pjestat ću je iz nikakvog posebnog razloga. Odnosno, pejstat ću je zato što mi izaziva kombinaciju žmaraca, kamenja u trbuhu i želje da kroz krov izletim kao raketa. (ok, dosad ste valjda shvatili da sam sklona pretjerivanju). I jer se osjećam čudno zadnjih dana. I nemirno. I highwaymanično. Eto je, dakle, s razlogom ili bez njega, ovo je odlična stvar.
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
