Sleeping On The Way

 


I can’t tell, can you

Where we have been

What we’re going through

May we rise ahead

Or sink like a rock on a feather bed

 

Old men’s hands and mine

Counting the years and forgetting the rhymes

Holding hands with fate

And watching for fires and pearly gates

 

Both or either way

We’re bound to make it

Opening our eyes

Or sleeping on the way

I can’t tell, can you

Where we have been

What we’re going through

May we rise ahead

Or sink like a rock on a feather bed

Both or either way

We’re bound to make it

Opening our eyes

Or sleeping on the way

 

I can’t tell, can you

Where we have been

What we’re going through

May we rise ahead

Or sink like a rock on a feather bed
