lyrics

They say to be sure in everything you do
But I say show me a man who's sure, and you show me a fool
You never know what life may give or just what it may take
So quit preaching your clarity: my future's fine opaque

Now I've walked many a winding mile and I'm a wandering still
Found many a fond memory on some lonely distant hill
Had many a heart a broken, but each one it healed again
Lost many a fine lady, gained many a good friend

And when they lay me down in the cold, hard ground
And my eyes, will see this world no more
As the rain falls, the wind'll cry: here lies a man
Who trod the road less travelled all because, he wasn't sure

Now we all have a story, yours is for you to write
But there ain't no point rushing that closing chapter's final line
There's many a page to be filled with tales of the unknown
Many a word to be written on the journeys of your own

But when your drifting journey takes you to a mountain peak up high
Make sure to spare a second, and look down upon the sky
At the man walking his narrow road, straight to his journey's end
So sure of where he's going, know that ain't you my friend

And when they lay you down in the cold, hard ground
And your eyes, will light this world no more
As the rain falls, the wind'll cry: here lies a gal
Who trod the road less travelled all because, she wasn't sure

It's true I've been disillusioned: waiting for the tree to grow
Day by day it doesn't seem to move, I yearn for a way to go
Thought maybe I should be decisive, clear and bold and sure
Find me a tree that's fully grown and wander on no more

But one thing that is sure my love, if I'd walked straight and true
I never would've found the fortune, to lay my eyes on you
And though we all get down sometimes faced with the roads that cross
All I have to do is look at you to know that I'm not lost

And when they lay us down in the cold, hard ground
And our eyes, shall meet in this world no more
As the rain falls, the wind'll cry: here lie two souls
Who trod the road less travelled all because, they were never sure
