Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud

Solemn faced, the village settles down, undetected by the starsAnd the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleepAnd the last thing on his mindIs the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned neath the covered wooden shaftFolds the rope into its bagBlows his pipe of smolders, blankets smoke into the roomAnd the day will end for some as the night begins for oneStaring through the message in his eyes, lies a solitary sonFrom the mountain called Freecloud where the eagle dare not flyAnd the patience in his sighgives no indication for the townsmen to decideSo the village Dreadful yawnspronouncing gross diversion as the label for the dogoh it's the madness in his eyes as he breaks the night to cryIt's really meReally you and really meIt's so hard for us to really beReally you and really meYou'll lose me though I'm always really freeAnd the mountain moved its eyesTo the world of realizeWhere the snow had saved a placeFor the Wild Eyed Boy from FreecloudAnd the village Dreadful criedAs the rope began to riseFor the smile stayed on the faceOf the Wild Eyed Boy from freecloudAnd the women once proud clutched the heart of the crownAs the boulders smashed down from the mountains handAnd the magic in the stare of the Wild Eyed Boy saidStop, freecloud! They won't think to cut me downBut the cottages fell like the playing card hellThe tears on the face of a Wise BoyCame trembling down to the rumbling groundAnd the missionary mystic of peace/loveStumbled back to cry among the cloudsKicking back the pebblesFrom the Freecloud mountain track
