Then End of Day

I walked the path of life and saw you on the way
So I paused to wonder, if you would
Walk with me now, until the end of day

Silently I spied you, thinking what to say
No words came to me, and as I pulled tight my hood
I walked the path of life and saw you on the way

My mind told me to go on; I could not obey
I wanted to talk to you, so I wondered if you could
Walk with me now, until the end of day

I set myself to do it, not caring how much I'd pay
I hurried to catch you, and I entered the wood
I walked the path of life and saw you on the way

I let you stay ahead, and paused in a glade to lay
Rested my mind and thought how you should
Walk with me now, until the end of day

Then I followed right behind, and asked if I may
Go with you on the path, perhaps for good.
I walked the path of life, and saw you on the way
Walk with me now, until the end of day
