Walking Man's Road

_The Last Unicorn_ by Peter S. Beagle
Horizon
Rising
up to meet
the purple dawn

Dust Demon
Screaming

Bring an eagle to lead me on
For in my heart
I carry such a heavy load

Here I am on man’s road
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road

I’m Hungry
Weary
But I cannot lay me down
The rain comes
Dreary
But there’s no shelter I have found
It will be a long time
‘til I find my abode

Here I am on man’s road
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road

Moon Rising
Disguising
Lonely streets in gay display
The stars fade
The night shade
All that makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode

Here I am on man’s road
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road
(fading out)
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road
