Rivendell - The Old Walking Song lyrics

rate me

The Road goes ever on and on, <br />

Out from the door of where it began.<br />

And now far ahead the Road has gone, <br />

Let others follow it who can.<br />

<br />

The Road goes ever on and on, <br />

Down from the door where it began.<br />

Now far ahead the Road has gone, <br />

And I must follow, if I can! <br />

Pursuing it with eager feet, <br />

Until it joins some larger way, <br />

Where many paths and errands meet.<br />

And whither then? I cannot say.<br />

<br />

The Road goes ever on and on, <br />

Out from the door of where it began.<br />

And now far ahead the Road has gone, <br />

Let others follow it who can! <br />

And let them a journey new begin, <br />

But I at last with weary feet<br />

Will turn towards the lighted inn, <br />

Evening-rest and sleep to meet.<br />

<br />

The Road goes ever on and on, <br />

Down from the door where it began.<br />

Now far ahead the Road has gone, <br />

And I must follow, if I can! <br />

Pursuing it with eager feet, <br />

Until it joins some larger way, <br />

Where many paths and errands meet.<br />

And whither then? I cannot say.<br />

<br />

Is it a new Road or a secret gate?<br />

The day will come at last for me, <br />

When I shall take the hidden paths that run<br />

West of the Moon and East of the Sun.<br />

<br />

The Road goes ever on and on, <br />

Down from the door where it began.<br />

Now far ahead the Road has gone, <br />

And I must follow, if I can! <br />

Pursuing it with eager feet, <br />

Until it joins some larger way, <br />

Where many paths and errands meet.<br />

And whither then? I cannot say.<br />

<br />

The Road goes ever on and on, <br />

Out from the door of where it began.<br />

And now far ahead the Road has gone, <br />

Let others follow it who can.<br />

And let them a journey new begin, <br />

But I at last with weary feet<br />

Will turn towards the lighted inn, <br />

Evening-rest and sleep to meet.<br />

<br />

Is it a new Road or a secret gate?<br />

The day will come at last for me, <br />

When I shall take the hidden paths that run<br />

West of the Moon and East of the Sun.</
