Strawbs - You Keep Going Your Way lyrics

rate me

I see you in the mist across the river of the night<br />

You're a shadow of the past that hurts me so<br />

The icy stream of nothing runs before my sightless eyes<br />

But I'm blinded by a driving sheet of snow<br />

In the gutter I can see my lifeblood flowing<br />

Where you cut me down with but a single blow.<br />

<br />

So you keep going your way<br />

And I'll keep going mine<br />

And everything will turn out just fine<br />

Yes, everything will turn out just fine.<br />

<br />

A spider's web of intrigue, spun in strands of gleaming black<br />

Oh the thousand lies to light the way to you<br />

A bent and twisted scarecrow tells the future of the past<br />

In a field high on a hill without a view<br />

In a moment you had vanished from my dreaming<br />

And I was left here with the chosen few.<br />

<br />

So you keep going your way<br />

And I'll keep going mine<br />

And everything will turn out just fine<br />

Yes, everything will turn out just fine.<br />

<br />

The sand runs through my fingers as the hours fade away<br />

And the stars they beckon from on high<br />

A team of six black horses rising from the ocean deep<br />

Will carry up my body when I die<br />

The rustle of the pebbles on the shoreline<br />

Reminds me that my time's in short supply.<br />

<br />

So you keep going your way<br />

And I'll keep going mine<br />

And everything will turn out just fine<br />

Yes, everything will turn out just fine.
