Well the night birds sing Quiet on the water in this last breath of summer Tomorrow I’ll pack my bags and go to a place I know so well Called travelin’ on I have a restless heart She moves in me like thunder and the wings of a dove She’s the blessing and the curse of a life lived full-well Full of travelin’ on Sun and moon and stars above Could you help me find my way to Love Through the things I cannot change and cannot bear I am tired and weak and worn, my spirit will not be reborn And the things that used to help me are not able I used to have a mother She was more than good to me I feel her love so strong in my bones Though an orphan I will always be See she taught me how to love Then she taught me how to just let go And in my dreams she comes to me and Tells me about the pure white light of love That she’s still shining down on me She had to travel on…She had to travel on She had to travel on and I’m still standing here Just trying to let it be I am weak My heart is full sore Maybe I’m still standing, but it’s kind of hard to tell I don’t know for sure But I hear the robin singing She wakes me to another day I’ll pack my bags and go and I know I will find my way I’ll travel on…I’ll travel on I’ll stare down another sunrise on the road ahead of me As I go on my way I’ll travel on…I’ll travel on
