Old Road

[Verse 1]
There once was an old road that as children we’d pass
Of old sun-bleached bones and of brown withered grass
And old men with guitars who would sing as they would laugh

[Verse 2]
The birds in the meadows would all turn into kites
We’d sail through the morning until it was night
The wolves would be howling at the full moon’s first light

[Verse 3]
The trees had all learned to sing amen, amen
The mountains learned to shake and churn and finally ascend Where clouds would send lightning to give us our end

[Chorus]
The road is all overgrown with poppies and thorns
It no longer leads anywhеre
It no longer leads homе
The moon no longer sets out
The moon no longer roams the old road

[Outro]
The old road, the old road
The old road, the old road
The old road, the old road

The old road, the old road
The old road, the old road
The old road, the old road
