"WESTERING"

HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER

 I'd say my life was full of light
I fed my child on the good land
We burned the oak, we burned the ash
But we did not burn the rowan
Two riders cam in single-file
Oh, a ragged flag did they bear
Saying whosoever the Lord designs
They can't deny the pilgrims share

Such a wild soul out tonight
Now do you heed how his voice does ring?
Such a wild soul out tonight
Though I don't know the song he sings

So I set off on the blue road
In the dawn, westering
Now three riders did it hold
Three different ways to Heaven
So if it rains, will you let it rain?
If it storms, will you let it blow?
And if I call, will you answer me?
Or will you leave me hollow?

Such a wild soul out tonight
Now do you heed how his voice does ring?
Such a wild soul out tonight
Though I don't know the song he sings
