lyrics

River flow, and the mountain snow
Call from the west.
Trees of green in a wild unseen,
Follow west,
Back to where you started from.

There is one who knows all the words you lost
From years ago,
And there's one who sees the lines, the steps, the aching depths,
From years ago.

It's not waiting here for you,
What you left up to fate.
The life you found but didn't choose,
Oh, you still know the way
To the west.

Foggy morn, and a heart untorn
Call from the west.
The crooked love between crow and dove
Call me west,
Back to where I started from.

With nights I used to know the paths that lead
Through the moonglow.
The days I used to see, the buck at bay, the bended tree,
From years ago.

Home is waiting there for you,
With the time that ebbs away.
But you have your life to choose,
Oh, you still know the way,
To the west.
