[Part 1 - Instrumental] [Part 2 - Instrumental] [Part 3] [Verse 1] Following the path as it leads toward The darkness in the north Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy They've seen that hope before [Chorus] And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit For you the night is beckoning And now you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say Close your ears and eyes, be on your way [Verse 2] Mist is swirling, creatures crawling Hear the roar get louder in your ears You know the folly was your own But the force behind can't conquer all you fears [Chorus] And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit For you the night is beckoning And now you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say Close your ears and eyes, be on your way [Verse 3] Throw your thoughts back many years To the time when love was life with every morning Perhaps a day will come When the lights will be as clear as on that morning [Chorus] And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit For you the night is beckoning And now you can't delay You hear the night birds calling you But you can't catch the words they say Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
