Following the path as it leads toward

the darkness in the north

Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy

They've seen that hope before



And if you want to stay for a little bit 

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning

and now you can't delay 

You hear the night birds calling you

but you can't catch the words they say

Close your aching eyes, be on your way



Mist is swirling, creatures crawling

Hear the roar get louder in your ears

You know the folly was your own

but the force behind can't conquer all you fears 



And if you want to stay for a little bit 

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning 

and now you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you 

but you can't catch the words they say

Close your aching eyes, be on your way



Throw your thoughts back many years

to the time when there was life with every morning 

Perhaps a day will come when the light will be as clear as on that morning



And if you want to stay for a little bit 

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning 

and now you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

but you can't catch the words they say

Close your aching eyes, be on your way
