[announcement]
i’d like to welcome everyone here this evening. we’ve got a pretty incredible show for you. we’d like to start the evening on a very quiet, very pretty note with a lovely lady and a fine songwriter, miss judee sill

[judee, spoken]
i’d like to sing you a few little songs while we’re waiting for david and graham to get here. i’d like to sing this song called “the vigilante”. it’s new, i hopе i remember thе words

[verse 1]
i see the vigilante watchin’ in the deep o’ night
i always find him where his heart is, he’s fightin’ the good fight
he smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave
he’s got his eyes on the horizon, reachin’ higher
he’s got his eyes on the horizon and his boots on his feet

[verse 2]
when i was stranded at the crossroads it was dismal and grey
and when i asked him for directions he showed me the good way
and if the sky is swirlin’ still his pace never swerves
because his heart is always faithful, reachin’ higher
y’know his heart is always faithful to the captain he serves

[refrain 1]
so when the clouds of confusion can creep into view
y’know the vigilante’s watchin’, and he won’t let ’em thru

[verse 4]
tho’ i have seen him climbin’ mountains with so heavy a load
he always lends a helpin’ hand and he walks on the good road
it often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease
but then he keeps his vigil constant, and he’s aimin’ to please
[refrain 2]
so when illusion’s approachin’ and danger is nigh
y’know the vigilante’s watchin’ and he won’t let it by

[verse 5]
i’ve seen him fight the fiercest foe until its forces divide
cuz he’s the fairest of them all and he chooses the good side
so when the tempters tease and try to make him unsure
y’know the fires of war are burnin’, reachin’ higher
y’know the fires of war are burnin’, but his weapons are pure

[refrain 1]
so when the clouds of confusion can creep into view
y’know the vigilante’s watchin’, and he won’t let ’em thru

[verse 6]
i see the vigilante watchin’ in the deep o’ night
i always find him where his heart is, he’s fightin’ the good fight
he often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease
but then he keeps his vigil constant, reachin’ higher
y’know he keeps his vigil constant, and he’s aimin’ to please

[outro]
he’s watchin’ 24 hours a day
