Stay The Road

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Tired, tired eyes look up and see

All you’ve done, the path you’ve come

The things that you’ve achieved

And when you're doubting

I hope you’ll trust in me

Tired, tired eyes look up and see

I’ve been mining down a dark hole

I’ve been mining in the rocks

For a golden seam she’s got buried deep

Some where inside of her

I’ve been working for your wonder

I’ve been mining hard and long

And I will not fold; I’m gonna find that gold

Now my work has just begun

Come on, pilgrim, won’t you stay the road?

Put that distance from your mind

Don’t you let it show

Well, it’s just a ride, and I’m at your side

If you didn’t know

Come on, pilgrim, won’t you stay the road?

I’ve been mining down a dark hole

I’ve been mining in the rocks

For a heart of gold that can’t be bought or sold

She’s got there inside of her

I’ve been working for your wonder

I’ve been mining hard and long

And I won’t give up; I’m gonna fill my cup

Now my work has just begun

Shelter, shelter bell ring out for all below

Keep your doorway open wide

Give us somewhere to go

And when we're full of doubt

And we don’t know what about

Don’t you tell us no

Shelter, shelter bell ring out for all below

I’ve been mining down a dark hole

I’ve been mining in the rocks

For a heart of gold that can’t be bought or sold

She’s got there inside of her

I’ve been working for your wonder

I’ve been mining hard and long

And I won’t give up; I’m gonna fill my cup

Now my work has just begun

Tired, tired eyes look up and see

All you’ve done, the path you’ve come

The things that you’ve achieved

And when you're doubting

I hope you’ll trust in me

Tired, tired eyes look up and see
