Van Dyke Parks - Many A Mile To Go lyrics

rate me

Many a mile to go and promise to keep

And I'm falling asleep

I don't wanna go to sleep, I don't wanna

To sleep, I don't wanna

I'm dreamin this dream and it's not very clear

The reason I'm there or why am I here

I'm thinkin I'm sinkin and I wanna know

When we're not here oh where do we go

Do not forsake me my dear

I let you go out when the coast become clear

To the wild blue and beyond

I'd tell you more if I'd been

Where no one been before

Do not forsake me my dear

I won't forsake you my son

Be by your side that day my race had been run

Till then it's all up to you

You take a part of my heart

As you start to slip through

We find that faraway shore

We have to say goodbye nevermore

We leave behind our certain-for-sure

To me it seems like dreaming

Mine is but to do or die

And never want for the reason why

We just set sail up into the sky

To me it seems like flying

Why oh why the sky

Why oh why is it blue and why am I me

Ttell me why are you you

Why are you hoo

Like why is there right and why is there wrong

And why does the weak go along with the strong

Gotta get along, and why is night

It feels like a fright

Oh and where is the light

That wuz burnin so bright

Burnin so bright

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

Do not forsake me my dear
