You Keep Going Your Way - Strawbs

I see you in the mist across the river of the night

You’re a shadow of the past that hurts me so The icy stream of nothing runs before my sightless eyes

But I’m blinded by a driving sheet of snow.

In the gutter I can see my lifeblood flowing

Where you cut me down with but a single blow.

So you keep going your way and I’ll keep going mine

And everything will turn out just fine

Yes, everything will turn out just fine.

A spider’s web of intrigue, spun in strands of gleaming black

Oh, the thousand lies to light the way to you

A bent and twisted scarecrow tells the future of the past

In a field high on a hill without a view.

In a moment you had vanished from my dreaming

And I was left here with the chosen few.

So you keep going your way and I’ll keep going mine

And everything will turn out just fine

Yes, everything will turn out just fine.

The sand runs through my fingers as the hours fade away

And the stars they beckon from on high

A team of six black horses rising from the ocean deep

Will carry up my body when I die.

The rustle of the pebbles on the shoreline

Reminds me that my time’s in short supply.

So you keep going your way and I’ll keep going mine

And everything will turn out just fine

Yes, everything will turn out just fine.
