(Ken Hensley)
Stranger than the sunrise Darker than the night Fiercer than a rainstorm This is man's delight This is man's delight Weaker than a moment And hot as any fire Blinder than the blind eye This is man's desire This is man's desire I ran to a place in the open sea Where I pledged My life to the sun It was good for a while I could laugh, I could smile But when I woke up one day The sun had gone So what of my meaning What am I trying to say What of my caution I'm a man anyway I'm a man anyway
(Box — Byron)
I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me: "Hold on" Her father was the leading man Said: "You're not welcome On our land" And then as a foe, he told me to go He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her: "Leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world Oh, I want my qypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he'll understand
