Miles To Go

Walk with me, my heart

The gate is much too spare a place to speak

And the gardens put to shame the meadow's bloom

An Eden set apart

I fancy Eve herself knew scent as sweet

I see that patch of lilies from my room

I'm glad you finally came

I watched you ride along the path below

I'm turning from that road

But even yet I have so many miles to go

I've reconciled my mind

To living out my life within these walls

It's not what you had hoped to hear, I know

But what I hope to find

Is better sought within the cloister's halls

And peace is all that matters to me now

I know you offer love

But in me now that path is overgrown

I'm turning from that road

But even yet I have so many miles to go

I hear he died alone

Surrounded by the bodies of his knights

And heaven wept until no tears would come

I swore I would atone

For failing him and shadowing his light

With all the things I did and should have done

Fare thee well, my love

I'll watch you ride along the path below

I'm turning from that road

But even yet I have so many miles to go
