Acres, land he had Had his money set Lost all on a bet It sure drove him mad Chorus Coma sleep Not a peep Eyes shut clean Time's has-been Rode a horse, he fell For him tolled the bell Darkness in his mind Ages-long, unwind Chorus He felt a gentle touch Was it real? Light hand on his face Was it real? The one showed a love such Was it real? That he came back to the race It was real Lead break Ten years had gone by He'd been out a while The one gave a smile Wiser, older, wry Chorus
