Joshua Kadison Lyrics
"Don Quixote Rides Again"

"I'm not the woman that you see in me,"
She says to him, "I'm just a lady of the night."
"That's where you're wrong," he says to her,
"A lady, that's where you're right."

And Don Quixote is riding tonight
On a bony old horse, such a crazy old sight
In rusty old armor that he thinks is shiny and new
Don Quixote is riding tonight
So gather your dreams and come join the fight
Any fool can believe that only what's real is what's true
But old Don Quixote, to just see this world for a while
Through the eyes that you do

Taking some shade beneath a cinnamon tree
She smiles at him, "my beauty left long time ago."
"Lady, I must confess that I see
Time could not tarnish your glow."

Oh and Don Quixote is riding tonight
On a bony old horse, such a crazy old sight
With his lady, the loveliest creature this world ever knew
Oh, and Don Quixote is riding tonight
So gather your dreams and come join the fight
Any fool can believe that only what's real is what's true
But old Don Quixote, to just see this world for a while
Through the eyes that you do
To just see this world for a while
Through the eyes that you do

And anyone there describing the scene
Would say he ain't no knight and she ain't no queen
Just a tired old man who's lost in his dreams
And a woman in rags all torn at the seams

But Don Quixote is riding tonight
So gather your dreams and come join the fight
Any fool can believe that only what's real is what's true
But old Don Quixote, to just see this world for a while
Through the eyes that you do
