Out on the highways,
And the by-ways, all a-lone.

And my head is aching,
And my hands are cold.

And I'm looking for the silver lining,
Silver lining, in the clouds.
And I'm searching for,
And I'm searching for,
The philosophers stone.

When my job, is turning lead, into gold.

And I'm searching for,
The philosophers stone.
