Following the path as it leads towards the Darkness in the North
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the words they sing
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Mist is swelling, creatures crawling,
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aging eyes beyond your name

Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day [bad word] 
When the nights will be as clear as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the words they sing
Close your aging eyes beyond your name

Following the path as it leads toward 
The darkness in the north 
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy 
They've seen that hope before 

And if you want to stay for a little bit 
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit 
For you the night is beckoning 
And now you can't delay 
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
And you must you realize be on your way 

Mist is swurling, creatures crawling 
Hear the roar get louder in your ears 
You know the folly was your own 
But the force behind can't conquer all you fears 

And if you want to stay for a little bit 
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit 
For you the night is beckoning and you know 
And now you can't delay 
You hear the night birds calling you 
But you can't catch the words they say
And you must you realize be on your way 

Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life with every morning 
Perhaps a day [bad word] when the light will be as clear as on that morning 

And if you want to stay for a little bit 
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit 
For you the night is beckoning 
And now you can't delay 
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
And you must you realize be on your way
