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
