The Road Goes Ever On and On

Music and Lyrics by Brian Thomas
Inspired by the poem by J.R.R. Tolkien in the Lord of the Rings

The road goes ever on and on and on
The road goes ever on and on and on
The road goes ever on and on
The journey only just began
A thousand miles may lie beyond
But I will walk them if I can

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on

The road goes ever on and on and on
The road goes ever on and on and on
I have the sun to be my guide
The wind shall clear the lonely way
'Til all that's passed is far behind
But what's ahead, I cannot say

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on

If a dark night should come my way
I'll hum a new tune 'til the break of day
And if a sorrow-cloud should fall
Each step shall lead the next one on
The clouds will break, the sun appear
I'll leave behind the day of tears
I'll leave behind the day of tears

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on

The road goes ever on and on and on
The road goes ever on and on and on
The road goes ever on and on
The journey only just began
A thousand miles may lie beyond
But I will walk them if I can

Every morning I will rise
Walk through cold or rain or heat
Until one day I see the light
Eternal rest and sleep to meet

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
