lyrics

Come child put your hand in mine
Talk with me a while
And humour an old man
I never claimed to be wise
I’m just stumbling blind through this life
As best as I can

You might be surprised where I’ve been
But in your life you’ll see
Things that I’ll never see

And I wish I could walk with you
All the way there
‘Cause to think that I won’t
Is the hardest to bear
And I wish I could promise
To stay ‘til the end
But you and I know
It’s just the natural order of things

This road is as old as the sky
We travel it all of our lives
And see such a small part
And some fall in step by our side
For the longest or briefest of times
But always it’s onwards

Often it’s steep and unkind
But as long as I can
I will help you to climb

And I wish I could walk with you
All the way there
‘Cause to think that I won’t
Is the hardest to bear
And I wish I could promise
To stay ‘til the end
But you and I know
It’s just the natural order of things

So forgive me if I
Hold so tight it’s hard to breathe
‘Cause I hope that there’s
Many more miles left to run
And god knows I intend
To make use of each one
But no matter how far
‘Til that day comes along
It just won’t be as much as I need

And I wish I could walk with you
All the way there
‘Cause to think that I won’t
Is the hardest to bear
And I wish I could promise
To stay ‘til the end
But you and I know
It’s just the natural order of things
