The story of a man who lost his way...

apologies for the ambiguously folky accent 

Lyrics:
There was once was a pilgrim who rode through this land
He traded fine stories for an apple in his hand
His tales they were mighty as the thunder is strong
With a hoarse, hungry whisper he taught me this song

“Oh the mountains I’ve climbed and the rivers I’ve crossed
In a matter of time I was bound to get lost
Though the day it was light and the weather was good
My way it had vanished through a dark aged wood

“It’s strange when such moments befall a young lad
For the mind does play tricks and you think yourself mad
As I wandered through the forest lest of boredom I die 
I saw a strange creature in the fringe of my eye

“It ran ‘fore I glimpsed it in a substantial way
So I followed where it went ‘til at last it did stay
And with god as my witness this thing did I scan
Had the head of horse and the body of a man


“I screamed like a child but the beast did me calm
And it said ‘Be not fearful, I mean you no harm,
If you go where I lead you, there is much more to see
There’s a world of such wonder that’s waiting for thee

“It took me through the forest with my mind still aghast
It knew well the bearing as it frolicked and danced
‘til at last this strange horseman it said unto me,
‘If you durst, take a gander just beyond that there tree

And before my poor eyes was a sight to behold
A whole tribe of horsemen, of young, and of old  
They spotted me staring and they stopped all at once
And they said ‘At last, brother, we’ve waited for months

It seemed that the horsefolk foresaw my advent
They cheered all together and away they all went
I asked he who brought me where the others did go
My equine pal informed me that the Grand One must know


“Soon there was a calling and a figure came through
 ‘Twas a white horse that I’ve never seen in a zoo
Had an air of importance but I haven’t yet said:
Saw I a great horn placed upon his great head

“The unicorn bowed as my presence was known
Said he, ‘Son, you’ve arrived again, my how you’ve grown!’
Said I, ‘No, I’m not like you!’ With a voice filled with force
Said he, ‘Heavens above, he don’t know he’s a horse!’ 

“He led me to water down a dark dingy path
The Great One could see my unease and did laugh
Said he, 'Look in the river and do tell what you see,’
And by God, was a horse staring straight back at me.

There was once was a pilgrim who rode through this land
He traded fine stories for an apple in his hand
His tales they were mighty as the thunder is strong
With a hoarse, hungry whinny he taught me this song.
