Lyrics
My child's upon the sacred isle
In priestess' tender care
The man I love is leagues away
And wishing I was there
But I am like the highwayman
In tricorn hat and cloak
Follow the black satin ribbon road
And disappear like smoke
The dying year before me flees
For I have seen its ghost
It hides among the mourning trees
With Hern and all his host
And I am like the highwayman
Who takes life as he finds
Follows the black satin ribbon road
Blind
The sun is down and all is grey
Begins a changeling hour
A creature more of night than day
I seize my changeling power
For I am like the highwayman
Who cares not where he rides
Follows the black satin ribbon road
With danger by my side
My child's upon the sacred isle
In priestess' tender care
A curtained room by candlelight
My love awaits me there
And I am like the highwayman
Whose journey is his own
Follows the black satin ribbon road
