The Narrow Way Lyrics
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
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
And you must you realize be on your way
Mystery swelling, creatures crawling
Hear the roar Jer louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can’t conquer all you fears
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 you know
And now you can’t delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can’t catch the words they say
And you must you realize be on your way
Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when love was life with every morning
Perhaps a day will come when the match
For me the curlers past warning
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
And you must you realize be on your way
