The Alchemist and The Pedlar - Dransfields

Oh a few old friends

They're gathering down

By the tavern fire

When in there walked

A pedlar

Who comes round once a year

He overheard them talking

All about their quest for gold

There's a curse on it

Cried the pedlar

Or so I have been told

They paid no heed to his warning

And they spent their money free

They deal out cards and smoke out the words

They play so fearlessly

See a smile on the winner's face

Oh the loser he does not cry

He puts his head to the brandy

'Cause he knows his luck's run dry

Was he riding on a white horse

That never touched the ground

Left the others searching

For the things that can't be found

So through that night they stayed

To find out just who the winner plays

And the dealer he gets impatient

'Cause the game went on for days

Then a piece of bright yellow metal

Appeared before their eyes

He may go oh he may go

You see the pedlar lies

They took the prize with the greatest care down

To their silent den

Where they performed their logic

'Cause the truth they had to learn

They tried every cipher and reason

Not a trace of gold did they find

Then a flash and flame

Oh and they were slain

But ah

Their bones did shine

Was he riding on a white horse

That never touched the ground

Left the others searching

For the things that can't be found

The most glorious of sunsets

In heaven

Ever ran

Was staged to show these lonely dead

Who didn't understand

To see how the moon feels like flying

And watch 'til the stars disappear

And the pedlar's gone oh to another town

But he'll be back next year

Was he riding on a white horse

That never touched the ground

Left the others searching

For the things that can't be found
