The Road I Go

Where the rod leads to the river

I pass the fields I know so well

Seems I've known them since forever

All their stories I can tell

I see my father in the meadow

He knows this day will be

That I will leave tomorrow

That I will be a memory

And I see him through the years of childhood

He bends now while I grow

I'll miss it here, but I won't fear

The road I go

Tonight we will be gathered

And we'll sing a song or two

The old songs we sang together

Bonny boys and violets blue

And I'll take songs to carry with me

To hold my memories

Till I will sing a new song

Of all that I have yet to be

For all I have been given

I'm ready now I know

I'll miss it here, but I won't fear

The road I go

I'll take songs to carry with me

To hold my memories

Till I will sing a new song

Of all that I have yet to be

For all I have been given

I'm ready now I know

I'll miss it here, but I won't fear

The road I go

I'll miss it here, but I won't fear

The rod I go

Oh, I'll miss it here, but I won't fear

The road I go
