Hero And Heroine - The Strawbs[00:00:04]
Hero's face was gaunt and tanned[00:00:19]
His sail was set in search of land[00:00:21]
His life-raft, solely by him manned[00:00:24]
Was guided by the tide[00:00:25]
Heroine wore fleecy white[00:00:27]
She beckoned like some saviour bright[00:00:29]
Shipwrecked sailors in the night[00:00:31]
Were bid welcome to her side.[00:00:33]
Where one man's search must surely cease[00:00:44]
The irresistible white fleece[00:00:47]
Led Hero in search of the peace[00:00:49]
Which she alone could offer[00:00:51]
Nothing he knelt before her feet[00:00:53]
Wary lest their eyes should meet[00:00:54]
He knew his life was incomplete[00:00:56]
For he had yet to suffer.[00:00:58]
Enticing Heroine, so calm[00:01:17]
Took Hero firmly by the arm[00:01:20]
Told him that she meant no harm[00:01:21]
That she alone could save him[00:01:23]
Hero could no longer speak[00:01:25]
While realising he was weak[00:01:27]
His life increasingly grew bleak[00:01:29]
For all the love she gave to him.[00:01:31]
While storm clouds gathered high above[00:02:05]
The heroine he grew to love[00:02:07]
Turned slowly to a snow white dove[00:02:09]
And spread her wings to fly[00:02:11]
Crushed and broken in the end[00:02:13]
Hero watched his soul ascend[00:02:15]
Knowing that he was condemned[00:02:17]
To sail all alone to die.[00:02:19]
