Well it's a long and lonesome night
With the clouds bearing heavy at my sides
And the winds blowing memories in my eyes
And then I thought of you
The big day has arrived
And we packed our bags full of sweet goodbye
And La Ponderosa, she rode just fine
She still misses you too
Through the matt black treacherous night
And the seamless lime soak of the moonlight
We rode by the Bolivian borderline
And then onto Peru
And I remember still of how it was to be young
We sought out our dreams and lost direction
But the Revolution was never meant to be won
It was a stand for the Truth
All that I've learnt is that nothing's cheap
And that you and I shared the same tyranny
Compulsive loss and a lack of being free
Ain't that true?
Yeah but it's all changed and yet still the same
The Truth's still buried inside of our graves
And you'll find out, when it's too late
Didn't you?
