The Way Behind the Hill

Welcome to my eyes full of joy

I embrace the sun like a dad with his boy

How many tales I have in mind

A road full of folk is in front and behind

Searching for a new aim

How many odd fellows I'll meet in this game?

Whether you roaming or if you have a plan

Get your stuff, a new day has begun

A new dawn is again in my eyes

I've got a smile on my face and the sun in the sky

Step by step, man by man I see a place

I can stop here or keep walking my way

Not all who wonders is lost in the night

I'm tasting my life like it was the last bite

Needful of choice he is starving for play

The seasons change but we are still the same

When I'm old and feeble and in my sickness I'll rave

Wrap me in a blanket and give me what I crave

I have no remorse I've followed my stream

Don't you see that I gleam?

When you call for a candle to light the new path

When you sleep beside a fire

With some new road's friends

When the sunshine warm kisses your face

You feel a voice telling „carry on this way"

When our world seems too big for a single glance

Into the storm you think this is a game of chance

When the rain, so cold, kiss your face

You feel a voice telling „carry on this way"

Waiting for another day

On the road he walks alone

It's the house where our brother has grown

When I close my eyes I can see your smile

When he raises his eyes up to sky

Then he can see the approaching night

In these times I miss my fireside

Ships will come and ships will go

As long as the sea will play its role

A trip on sea a trip on shore

Until my heart will not be sore
