Rocinante

 

Oh baby don't you know

I was livin' out my life

With cold and lonely days and with

Empty starless nights

But then you came along--told me I was strong

Baby when I'm with you

                  I think you might be right

 

But baby can't you see

That we're running in a race

With prizes no one understands

And no one wants to chase

It's hard to be the only one who thinks it really can be done

Baby I can't stand to see

                  the tears that trace your face

 

The windmill keeps on spinning

                  but who can say who's won

For glory is a fleeting thing

                  when all is said and done

 

And though your shining visions

                  are hard for me to see

Baby if you say they're real

                  that's good enough for me

 

Oh baby don't you know

I was livin' out my life

With cold and lonely days and with

Empty starless nights

But baby now you're here--I'll always keep you near

Because I know together

                  that we can fight the fight
