Connie Dover - I Am Going To The West lyrics

In this fair land I'll stay no more Here labor is in vain I'll seek the mountains far away And leave the fertile plain Where waves of gra** and oceans roam Into infinity I stand ready by the shore To cross the inland sea I am going to the west You say you will not go with me You turn your eyes away You say you will not follow me No matter what I say I am going to the west I am going to the west I will journey to the place That was shaped by heaven's hand I will build for me a bow Where angel's footprints mark the land Where castle rocks and towers high Kneel to valleys wide and green All my thoughts are turned to you My waking hope, my sleeping dream I am going to the west You say you will not go with me You turn your eyes away You say you will not follow me No matter what I say I am going to the west I am going to the west And when sun gives way to moon And silver starlight fills the sky In the arms of these last hills Is where I'm bound to lie Wind my blanket earth my bed My canopy a tree Willows by the riverside Will whisper me to sleep I am going to the west You say you will not go with me You turn your eyes away You say you will not follow me No matter what I say I am going to the west I am going to the west
