lyrics

round the end of the road
that you walked and you let yourself go
don’t look back don’t look back you admonished yourself
around that bend you rose
i will be i will be i will be
something else
you said to
the blackbirds who course
through thee air through the air all around you
as the plain spread flat
and the road wove on
what’ll you do what’ll you do said the fencepost
as it creaked into view
where will you go where will you go who
blew the grasses as they bent and blew
what do you think anymore
you said to you
you said to you
came upon a spring
came upon as spring
came into view
you thought you thought you’d better drink
something clean something clear from the ground
you bent down bent down
you bent
dust in your clothes and you
close to the ground you
started to pray
what does tomorrow say you asked
what does tomorrow want to do
what will the air be like there
will i still know how to move among them
will i know where to go
or how to ask for something
will i want anyone
or will i just be careful
or will i walk until the sun is falling down
again
walk until the moon is my only guide
again
will i wait wishing whispering and looking far ahead
i cannot say
i cannot say
