Strawbs - The Journey's End lyrics

The signpost stands where the crossways meet There's but one road to the journey's end The wanderer bent with his heavy load Is waiting for a friend. The sun sinks slowly behind the hill The dead leaves lie where the wind has blown Likewise he who has travelled far Must find his way alone. And as he leaves so the signpost turns To point the way to the journey's end The old grey man with his heavy load No longer needs a friend.
