North Road

I've seen the snow come and go
Oh so many times before
But the snow that now gathers
I fear will lie forever

Old man winter walks yet again
Upon the North Road to the end

I've set foot at last
Upon this long North Road
Every step is a prayer
As I pay what is owed

Old man winter walks yet again
Upon the North Road to the end

I talk to the mountains
Of all my sorrows
I tell them my regrets
I sing them your name

Old man winter walks yet again
Upon the North Road to the end

I know bones go brittle
And that flesh always grows weak
The years wield rough fists
And it sure has a wicked streak
How the sunny days lay lost
Deep beneath the covers of snow
Long forgotten sunshine
Warms my heart as I go

How the sunny days lay lost
