Hero And Heroine
Lyricist:David Joseph Cousins, John Hawken
Hero's face was gaunt and tanned His sail was set in search of land His life-raft, solely by him manned Was guided by the tide
Heroine wore fleecy white She beckoned like some savior bright Shipwrecked sailors in the night Were bid welcome to her side
Where one man's search must surely cease The irresistible white fleece Led Hero in search of the peace When she alone could offer
Thus he knelt before her feet Wary lest their eyes should meet He knew his life was incomplete For he had yet to suffer
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Enticing Heroine, so calm Took Hero firmly by the arm Told him that she meant no harm That she alone could save him
Hero could no longer speak Realizing he was weak His life increasingly grew bleak For all the love she gave to him
While storm clouds gathered high above The heroine, he grew to love Turned slowly to a snow white dove And spread her wings to fly
Crushed and broken in the end Hero watched his soul ascend Knowing that he was condemned To sail all alone to die
