Hard Road - Johnny Flynn

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well

The sea came in and washed me out

The way was carved in ice

The tokens of a buried past

The shavings of a heavy life

The wind blows each and every way

It’s not for me, my heart, to steer

I cast up what I have each day

The river flows the whole long year

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well

The fires moved my heart so far

Now colours can’t be seen

The distant call of far-off stars

Haunting o’er what might have been

And all, an ending was begun

Come with me 'cross the care-trod floor

Come with me to the holy song

And with time’s passing, to the core

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well

She knows how and she knows when

She’s born to die and live and again

She goes from moor to build a nest

She knows the dance that burns her best

From the ashes, fair to share

The purest sounds to leaden heads

Sung from her best and bends the old trees

Wingèd wind songs sung so holy

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love

Hard road under the night sky

Keep on travelling, fare thee well
