Highwayman

(album: Images - 1977)

Invitation to a party
Came for two, me and you
And I was sad when you said that you couldn't go

You were working, couldn't make it
I agreed to stay home
But then I changed my mind and I went alone

I went as a clown, nobody knew my plan
Then into the room entered a highwayman

Highwayman, oh, highwayman
Stealing kisses where you can
You look so familiar, highwayman

Highwayman, oh, highwayman
Stealing kisses where you can
You look so familiar, highwayman

He came to me, full of laughter
He was joking when he said:
"It's love or your money I'm after"

I said: "Please, sir, I surrender"
Then he held me and kissed me
Then I knew that he's a pretender

Then midnight arrived, he took off his disguise
My heart nearly died, you were before my eyes

Highwayman, oh, highwayman
Stealing kisses where you can
You look so familiar, highwayman

Highwayman, oh, highwayman
Stealing kisses where you can
You look so familiar, highwayman

Highwayman, oh, highwayman
Stealing kisses where you can
You look so familiar, highwayman
