First Line: It's fast they go and very fast
Last Line: But it's lonesome as hell they are.
Subject(s): Flags; Stars; Wandering & Wanderers
It's fast they go and very fast,
it's far they go and far
who nail their flags to a shot-torn mast
and wish on a falling star.
It's fast they go and very far,
and no road calls them home,
and valiant they follow the falling star
and valiant they go alone.
Oh, brightly shines the rolling stone
and brightly burns the star,
and they go fast who go alone.
But it's lonesome as hell they are.
