Henry Lewy - The Vigilante lyrics

I see the vigilante watching in the deep o' the night I always find him where his heart is, he's fighting the good fight He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave He's got his eyes on the horizon, reaching higher He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet When I was stranded at the crossroads it was dismal and grey And when I asked him for directions he showed me the good way And if the sky is swirling still his pace never swerves Because his heart is always faithful, reaching higher Because his heart is always faithful to the captain he serves So when the storm of deception is rounding the bend Y'know the vigilante's watching, and he won't let it in Tho' I have seen him climbing mountains with so heavy a load He always lends a helping hand and he walks on the good road It often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease But then he keeps his vigil constant, and he's aiming to please So when illusion's approaching and danger is nigh Y'know the vigilante's watching and he won't let it by I've seen him fight the fiercest foe until its forces divide Cause he's the fairest of them all and he chooses the good side So when the tempters tease and try to make him unsure You know the fires of war are burning, reaching higher You know the fires of war are burning, but his weapons are pure So when the clouds of confusion can creep into view Y'know the vigilante's watching, and he won't let them through I see the vigilante watching in the deep o' the night I always find him where his heart is, he's fighting the good fight He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave He's got his eyes on the horizon, reaching higher He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet He's watching 24 hours a day
