The Courier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come the courier alone, the high road winds you loose
Water smoothed the stones, but a weary figure stoops
Still in the night, there’s a curse he must find
Come the courier alone, and the flurry of suffering
Past the low-sinking bridge, for the surging river spring
Still in the night there’s a curse he must find
A mark in stone, the highway home
A mark in stone, the highway home
Come the courier alone, for the vivid woods ablaze
A wild fever forms the pinnacle of his gaze
Still in the night, there’s a curse he must find
A mark in stone, the highway home
A mark in stone, the highway home
Come the courier alone, for a courting moon, so bright
Come the wayside crowd, the silhouette of grey and white
Still in the night there’s a curse he must find
A mark in stone, the highway home
A mark in stone, the highway home
