May The Road Rise

may the road rise with you

may your dreams all come true

may you always feel beloved

under darkest winter blues

raindrops fall down just like tears fom the sky

your soaked from your feet to your hair

cars speed through pools, splash sorry fools

trudging along in despair

stones mock your bones the road hurts your feet

this place that you curse will outlast you and me

remember way back when you stood on the wall

you said you could fly

now you’re so sure you’ll fall.

may you see with x-ray eyes

through the ones who tell you lies

who point the way to heaven

and claim they own the rights

evening comes down in this strange foreign town

as you walk in your old worn-out shoes

stars coming out, to the north and the south

like a pretty girl putting on jewels

you climb up a hill, looking over this city

you’re a stranger round here

and there’s no room for pity

you wish you had change

to make a long distance call

you’re afraid to call home

in case you break down and bawl

may you find the faintest light

if good days turn into night

may you always believe

no matter what fate has up his sleeve
