Out of the purple haze he had ridden
There was froth on the mouth of his steed
His mission was to save this sweet lady
A beautiful lady who's love he did need
Lightning flashed as the storm was starting
The darkness added to the danger of his quest
He must get to the black dragon this night
To die, or to live, see which one was best
He felt the hot flames of fire as he turned
Standing not more than twenty paces away
He saw this dangerous surly black dragon
Some one must meet his doom this very day
From the corner of his eye he then did see it
A bolt of lightning firing out of that dark sky
Straight as an arrow it hit that black dragon
His quest was over as he saw the black dragon die
Just An Old Nobody
It was a cold rainy night when we found him
He was lying face down on the wet ground
There was an eerie feeling surrounding us boys
Scared in the complete stillness we had found
We could see by the shabby clothes he had on
He surely wasn't from anyplace here in our town
I guess he must have been someone passing through
On his back he wore an old coat of faded brown
In my heart there was so much pity when I saw him
For I thought but for the grace of God it could be me
Alone in this cruel world with no one even caring
Useless was his life now he sleeps in all of eternity
If sometime when you are feeling sorry for yourself
Think of how this some day it might happen to you
Alone in this old world and you have no one to care
This tragedy happens more times than we want it to
My Dream Lady
The aroma of her perfume lingers
She had put magic in the air
A beautiful blue eyed lady
With pretty flowers in her hair
She smiled as I walked by her
I could see a twinkle in her eye
My heart started beating faster
As I smiled at her and said hi
I could swear she said something
Her voice was so soft and low
I wanted to turn and follow her
But my actions were a little too slow
Every night now I dream of her
Some day I know I will see her again
We will walk in the same direction
As her love I will then seek to gain
