Following the path as it leads towards the Darkness in the North
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before

And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning

And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Mist is swelling, creatures crawling,
Hear the roar get louder in your ears

You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come

When the nights will be as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Rest your weary head, be on your way.
