The plain |
| The plain stretched out before me as far as the slate grey sky |
| I told her I was leaving with the migrant birds to fly |
| I said she might expect me with the coming of the spring |
| When the birds return back home again with new-found songs to sing |
| I hit out on the highway, high on the rising sun |
| I felt my spirit rising, my journey was newly begun |
| The joy of expectation rose in my heart with a song |
| The courage of conviction carried my journey along |
| I bathed in the lake of comfort, the milk of my mother’s breast |
| The son of constant sorrow sank to his knees in the West |
| I prayed to my God for guidance to find there was no-one but me |
| There was just the open highway as far as my eyes could see |
| Throughout my endless journey I have been searching for paradise lost |
| I now retrace my footsteps with the burden of infinite cost |
| I see myself returning alone with my head held high |
| The plain stretched out before me as far as the slate grey sky |
