lyrics

There flies the evening song
Towards a distant dawn
Tonight here, tomorrow gone
Walk the road with me

The sting of a pleasing cry
Pleading to stay a while
A day here, an age belies
Walk the road with me

Now shoulder what you can bear
The rest we will share
With others, do not compare
Walk the road with me

Now show me what you foresee
The place you will be
The people you will meet as you
Walk the road with me

There seated a hoary man
With diamonds in his hand
And words that once began:
“Walk the road with me”

A forest we soon will find
With figures old as time
And shadows to face inside
Walk the road with me

Then as in the very start
A voice, a world apart
She is singing on stony path:
“Walk the road with me”

And still we must travel far
Through valleys deep and dark
To peaks that eclipse the stars
Walk the road with me

Beyond this I cannot see
The end evades me
Whatever will be, will be
Only walk the road with me

There flies the evening song
Towards a distant dawn
Tonight here, tomorrow gone
Walk the road with me
