midnight visitor

Lyrics

we were visited last evening, by a servant of the day, he had travelled miles on horseback, to scout his master's way, and he only had a moment, to warm his frozen hands, and though he needed food and rest, he told us of his land, and all too soon, he had to leave, else sleep might block his way, and so he thanked us both, and saddled up, and softly rode away, and i thought i caught a glimpse of sun in his eye, and wheatfield in his smile, and i couldn't help but a-thinking, they would follow in a while
