Tell me straight out if you will Why must you torture me within? Why must you come [downn] from your high hill? I throw my fate to the clouds and wind Far away in a silent land Secret thoughts are hard to bear Remember me you'll understand Emotions we can never share You trampled on me as you passed Left the coldest kiss upon my brow All my doubts and fears have gone at last I've nothin' more to tell you now. I walk by tranquil lakes and streams As each new season's dawn awaits I lay awake at night with troubled dreams The enemy is at the gate Beneath the thunder-blasted trees The words are ringin' off your tongue The ground is hard in times like these The stars are cold, the night is young The rocks are bleak, the trees are bare Iron clouds go floatin' by Snowflakes fallin' in my hair Beneath the gray and stormy sky. The evenin' sun is sinkin' low The woods are dark, the town is too They'll drag you down, they run the show Ain't no tellin' what they'll do#7,n / They will [ leave/beat ] you black an' blue Tell Ol' Bill when he comes home [That anything#7/Anythingn] is worth a try Tell him that i'm not alone And that the hour has come to do or die All the world i would defy Let me make it plain as day I look at you [ an' now#7/now an' n] i sigh How could it be any other way?

I walk by [these] tranquil lakes and streams As each new season's dawn awaits I lay awake at night with troubled dreams The enemy is at the gate Beneath the thunder-blasted trees The words are ringin' off your tongue The ground is hard in times like these The stars are cold, the night is young From white to green, from brown to black Not one more minute can i waste They go too far, they drive me back At a slow and steady pace The rocks are bleak, the trees are bare Iron clouds go floatin' by Snowflakes fallin' in my hair Beneath the grey/dark and stormy sky. The evenin' sun is sinkin' low The woods are dark, the town is too They'll drag you down, they run the show Ain't no tellin' what they'll do Tell Ol' Bill when he come home Anything is worth of try Tell him that i'm not alone [An' that] The hour has come to do or die All the world i would defy Let me make it plain as day I look at you an' now i sigh How [can/could] it be any other way?
