Dat dit nou nooit een hit geworden is.

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again

Ik ben Mack, uit 1969, dat klinkt vertrouwder dan het noemen van mijn leeftijd. Begonnen in 2004 met web streepje log dat te succesvol werd en dus overgenomen door snelle jongens die alles kapot maakten. Ik heb in tegenstelling tot velen mijn archieven kunnen redden, maar bijbehorende foto's zijn veelal verdwenen in de diepste krochten van internet en dus weg. Ik woon in Vaassen, aan de oostelijke rand van de Veluwe en schrijf daarover alsof het onontdekte wildernis is. In werkelijkheid is het één grote ergernis van verbodentoegangbordjes en zwervende toeristen. Verder schrijf ik over alles, soms serieus maar meestal niet. Sorry. Toon alle berichten van Mack
