There's a light in the darkness just barely out of view |
|
From the corner of your vision it beckons to you. |
|
After the crops have all come in amid the stubble and the chaff |
|
Keep on walking when it whispers and don't look back. |
|
Some say it's the Ghost Train's headlight or poor Wayland Smiths' pyre |
|
Some say it's the Will o the Wisp or St. Elmo's fire, |
|
Or the ghost of wandering spirits that got lost between the worlds. |
|
Keep on walking when they whisper or if the lines begin to blur. |
|
When it's done it's said and done. |
|
What it's gone it's good and gone. |
|
Sometimes there's nothing left to do, |
|
But pack it up and move along. |
|
I'm not saying don't remember or that all things can be repaired |
|
But after the truth's been told where do we go from there? |
|
Sorrow is a constant companion we learn just to walk beside. |
|
Keep walking when it whispers and don't listen when it lies. |
|
When it's done it's said and done. |
|
What it's gone it's good and gone. |
|
Sometimes there's nothing left to do, |
|
But pack it up and move along. |
|
There are stories we were told just to keep us in our place. |
|
There are stories we made up ourselves to save a little face. |
|
There the ones that made us crazy and the ones that kept us sane, |
|
Keep on walking if the stories all start to sound the same. |
|
When it's done it's said and done. |
|
What it's gone it's good and gone. |
|
Sometimes there's nothing left to do, |
|
But pack it up and move along. |

When it's done it's said and done. |
