Endless Roads – Lorraine Ledger

On and on it goes to the horizon
Does this road have an end?
But you are a pleasant companion
It is so good to have your company
Of all my fellows along this road
I like you the best

You are such a pleasant companion
The sound of your voice is low and sweet
You make the distance seem nearer
Your eyes shine a light on my path
You comfort me and give me strength
I like you very much

But I am getting so tired
Could we stop and rest a little while?
I don't understand this journey anyway
Perhaps it has no end
Will you rest with me here a while?
I need to rest
Just a short sleep, please
With my head on your knee?

Does this road have an end?
Perhaps we're moving in circles
I am so very tired
Let's rest a while here please!
Here please? please. together.
Could we rest awhile - now, together?
Even a short time would mean so much
I need to close my eyes in peace
And you are the only one I trust

I trust you with my life
Please, could we rest here?
My dreams need unpacking
My heart is breaking under the load
And I am hungry and thirsty
If not now, then when?
If not here, then where?

I need to rest here with you now
Now. here. together.
But I'm afraid to close my eyes
I'm afraid you'll be gone when I open them
Would you leave me behind if I laid down?
Please don't leave me here alone
I couldn't go on if you did

You're the one I love. need. trust.
Will you lie down here with me?
Lie down in peace beside me here
I promise I would never leave you
I love you now, more than before
Turning away, leaving you
That would feel like dying to me
Will you lie with me
And let me hear your heart beating?

Does this road have an end?
I am so very tired of the journey
At least a short rest together
Please let me put my head on your knee.
Don't leave me here alone
I will surely die if you do
My soul would blow away like dust
I can't do this without you
And I am afraid to try

I need you beside me always
But I really need to rest a while
Could we please stop here?
Just a short rest
With my head on your knee?
Does this road have an end?
I am so very very tired
