Pale, Lonesome Rider

from MOONDOG by Joseph Huber

lyrics

PALE, LONESOME RIDER

I'm a pale, lonesome rider
Throwing my face right to the wind.
A better man would settle down beside her.
Who do you think I am?
I'm a pale lonesome rider,
Companion to no 'where' or 'when,'
I guess I'll have to wait until the next life
To begin again.

When the sun sits beside her,
You know she don’t understand
How all that hope that she’s been holding
Is dripping through her hands.

Now it seems like we were sent here
With eyes to a different world's design.
Honey, we can't go on forever,
But we can stay the night.

So you're told a soul sent from heaven
Took this body, a soul-machine, to ride,
But now we have to go on living
When those dreams die.

So, I'll focus on forgetting,
But some memories don't need a hand.
What is a man to make so much of his winters
And his foolish plans?

Joseph Huber Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After 7 years of hard touring and playing banjo with the influential streetgrass group, .357 String Band, Joseph Huber has found an individual voice that covers a vast range of influence. Playing all the instruments, from fiddle to harmonica to banjo to tambourine (and as many as he can at once) he amazes and entertains, but also reveals substance. His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
