Well I've got to move on now to Gemini Junction
And that clock full of good times awaiting me there.
Lord, I hope that I find it this side of the Jordan
and if I don't – well it won't be like I didn't care.
There'll be mountains to pass full of many a hazard,
where riders lose heart and horses go lame,
there'll be rivers to cross and a terrible desert,
but I know where to go. It's the way that I came.
There's a man in the moon over Gemini Junction
and the Mexicans call him primero ladrone
what that means, I believe, is the thief who's forgiven:
I should think that he'll wink when he sees I've come home.
I've dreamed of that man with the stars all around him;
I've dreamed of a dawn that would quicken the dead,
but I've dreamed far too long – It's time that I found them,
Or went bust. So there's just one more thing to be said:
I'd admire to see you in Gemini Junction
and I'll send you a letter if I ever get there;
It'll say "What a day for my love to come calling!
My best to the rest. I'm enclosing your fare."
