La, la, lalalalalala....

In the mist, the wanderer
May come into your sight.
And you, if you should see him,
Don't fight him, and don't flee.
Worn to rags and harmless,
So sad, the sleeping knight,
The horse, the horse,
Walks lame upon legs three.

Rusted out, his armor,
Crumbling at one touch light.
Traveled down into a hole
Are those steel boots you see.
Upon the road not taken
Roams the sleeping knight,
The horse, the horse,
Walks lame upon legs three.

At one time, in this world,
He thundered through in glory.
To honorable combat
He loved to fly with might.
He raised his sword, defending
The weak in poverty,
And the horse? The horse --
The best steed ever served knight!

But now there came a wizard
To her beloved dared write.
"Get out of here!" said her knight,
"With you I'm enemies!"
She made him sleep forever;
Unlucky was this knight.
As for the horse? The horse
Walks lame upon legs three.

So he may not awaken;
He can't stop, day or night.
From then till now, his good horse
Counts each step caref'lly.
Back where he came, into the mists
Now goes the sleeping knight.
And the horse, the horse 
Walks lame upon legs three.

La, la, lalala....
