I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor
Like I knew he did a thousand times before
Voices seem to echo "come talk with me a while
Just around the corner, just another mile"I had heard the stories, her legend served her well
A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairytale
A raggle-taggle gypsy , with a toothless smile
Said "sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while"And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the way to
Mandalay
And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the way to
MandalayThe mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days
Could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways?
The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me
Caught between what happened and what could never be
