Judee Sill - The Vigilante Lyrics

I see the vigilante watchin' in the deep o' the night
I always find him where his heart is
he's fightin' the good fight
He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave
He's got his eyes on the horizon, reachin' higher
He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet

When I was stranded at the crossroads
it was dismal and grey
And when I asked him for directions
he showed me the good way
And if the sky is swirlin' still his pace never swerves
Because his heart is always faithful, reachin' higher
Because his heart is always faithful to the captain he serves

So when the storm of deception is roundin' the bend
Y'know the vigilante's watchin', and he won't let it in

Tho' I have seen him climbin' mountains
with so heavy a load
He always lends a helpin' hand
and he walks on the good road
It often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease
But then he keeps his vigil constant
and he's aimin' to please

So when illusion's approachin' and danger is nigh
Y'know the vigilante's watchin' and he won't let it by

I've seen him fight the fiercest foe until its forces divide
Cuz he's the fairest of them all
and he chooses the good side
So when the tempters tease and try to make him unsure
Y'know the fires of war are burnin', reachin' higher
Y'know the fires of war are burnin'
but his weapons are pure

So when the clouds of confusion can creep into view
Y'know the vigilante's watchin', and he won't let 'em thru

I see the vigilante watchin' in the deep o' the night
I always find him where his heart is
he's fightin' the good fight
He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave
He's got his eyes on the horizon, reachin' higher
He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet

He's watchin' 24 hours a day
