lyrics

Years go by while you and I count the days passing by
Hope for good ones up ahead
Older now and things I thought so important yesterday
Never mattered anyway

When the road turns out not to be the one I started on
Where bridges tend to rust
Take my hand then I’ll take my first step
it goes on and on

Times are hard, I can be too
I know I can count on you to get me through
When the darkness gets inside your head
I will shine a light instead, say the words to you

When the road turns out not to be the one I started on
Where bridges tend to rust
Take my hand then I’ll take my next step
It goes on and on

Wherever it may take us
There is no turning ‘round

Years go by while you and I are changing and marking time
Come whatever
Still the road it winds through the night, then sunrise
Not knowing where it ends

When the road turns out not to be the one I started on
Where bridges tend to rust
Take my hand then I’ll take my next step
It goes on and on

When the road turns and drives me off my course
You will lift me up
Take my hand ’til I take my last breath
Cause it goes on and on

This song transported me to my own very first sighting of a Veery this summer. A rare visitor to Vancouver Canada, it only lingered a few days before it continued on migration. birder

Hard to pick a fave from this record but gun to my head I'd have to say In the Stars for the Brian Wilson vibe and most excellent vocals. chrometop
