'Til It's Time To Go

‘Til It’s Time To Go

We were all hope and expectation as that summer day began
And you and I agreed to meet in the grove down where the river ran
I ran out the back door, and though the path was hard to find
I climbed that hill in front of me, and left that little town behind

Each day was filled with stories of sorrow from the war
And at night there were fresh hardships left at each and every door
So we clung for consolation to our ancient forest glen
Between the future we didn’t know and the past as it was then

You can walk, walk, walk the wild earth or you can fly high above it
You can look for the hidden light you can search high and low
On our journey far and near, the path will always lead us right back here
Where you can hold me in your arms, and I can hold you close
Until it’s time to go


Now there’s twilight thrown everywhere, and a breeze stirs the tree
Window lamps **** here and there as the sun sets on you and me
Memories of long ago, reminders of me and her
Remember how the sun would glow on the children that we once were

You can walk, walk, walk the wild earth or you can fly high above it
You can gather around you all that you love and know
As the sun goes down on this peaceful valley town
You can hold me in your arms
Until it’s time to go….
