Hard Road Songtext
von Johnny Flynn

Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well
The sea came in and washed me out
The way was carved in ice
The tokens of a buried past
The shavings of a heavy life
The wind blows each and every way
It′s not for me, my heart, to steer
I cast up what I have each day
The river flows the whole long year
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well
The fires moved my heart so far
Now colours can't be seen
The distant call of far-off stars
Haunting o′er what might have been


And all, an ending was begun
Come with me 'cross the care-trod floor
Come with me to the holy song
And with time's passing, to the core
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well
She knows how and she knows when
She′s born to die and live and again
She goes from moor to build a nest
She knows the dance that burns her best
From the ashes, fair to share
The purest sounds to leaden heads
Sung from her best and bends the old trees
Winged wind songs sung so holy
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
Hard road under the night sky
Keep on travelling, fare thee well
