It's a dark road when you walk it alone When you walk it alone The moon is high A hard light casts shadows in the valley tonight I feel old, when it gets this cold I have every reason to stay But I gotta be on my way The nights get longer and I speak Lower my head and go straight at the sun To the fire To the warmth It's a heavy load to carry alone, carry alone I try to speak, but my voice has gone weak And I don't recognise the sound Now a fire has gone cold As I walk through the woods back to the road The nights get longer and I run Lower my head and go straight at the sun To the fire To the warmth To the fire Straight to the heart It's a dark road, when you walk it alone When it gets this cold
