MacGregor's Revenge

The lad reached the river at the height of the flood
He searched for a crossing in vain
When the black steed appeared, a bit in its mouth
And the water dripped from its mane
It beckoned him on with a toss of its heard
And hid its ravenous eyes
He knew not why he climbed on its back
And it ran to the deepening tide
He hollered and he cried
Stuck fast to the demon’s hide
Till the water was up to his eyes
MacGregor was walking and heard the boy call
Too late he arrived on the shore
There was just bits of the lad washed up on the bank
And the water’s deafening roar
MacGregor went down to the river each night
He prayed to protect him from harm
He lay in wait, a cross round his neck
And a dagger tucked under his arm
MacGregor swore revenge
On the demon horse’s head
That it won’t go drowning again
One night from behind him he heard a horse neigh
He turned and prepared for his doom
Felt a chill down his spine when he saw the black steed
Trotting out of the gloom
He felt it calling him and he reached out
He took a step toward it in dread
He summoned his will and drew out his knife
Cut the bridle clean off of its head
It bellowed and it cried
And the color went from its hide
And the fury blazed in its eyes
MacGregor swore revenge
On the demon horse’s head
That it won’t go drowning again
He snatched up the bridle and turned on his heels
A voice from behind him did cry
“Return it to me or by my soul
In a day I will wither and die”
MacGregor went running toward his abode
With hoofbeats behind the whole way
He ducked inside while the cross on the door
Kept the foul demon at bay
It hollered and it cried
While MacGregor hid inside
And the next day it withered and died
MacGregor swore revenge
On the demon horse’s head
That it won’t go drowning again

Back Again

The last goodbye is looming now
The sun is going down
But we can’t go back again
We try to stave it off somehow
And we’re just stalling now
But we can’t go back again
Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
But we can’t go back again
Tomorrow you’ll be moving out
And this is the last round
But we can’t go back again
We talk of nights on the town
And we’re both smiling now
But we can’t go back again
Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
But we can’t go back again
Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
Cause you won’t be back again
