Following the path as it leads towards The darkness in the north Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy They've seen that hope before But if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you, the night is beckoning And you know 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 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 your fears And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you, the night is beckoning And you know 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 Pull your thoughts back many years To the time when there was life with every morning Perhaps a day will come When the light will be as clear as on that morning And if you want to stay for a little bit Rest your aching limbs for a little bit Before you, the night is beckoning And you know 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
