The Dark Road Lyrics

burn all the bridges
let me feel the wind
will you save my soul tonight
follow the ashes
no-one ever will
can I hear you sing tonight

autumn is coming
evenings growing cold
and we still have far to go
far goes the memory
further than the road
and the fields that lie beyond

and every word I have said, I have sung
every fragment of meaning has gone
but I turn around to the dust left behind where the threads of the rhyme come undone

you came a-knocking
stranger at my door
will you be my friend tonight
turned down the lights and
said my last goodbye
and I left my house behind

and though the sky it was dark it was cold
and the wind tore the rags off my back
you came along and your cloak it was shelter
for two who were lost in the storm
