It's everything you feared gone wrong,
But keep on walking and don't you cry,
Remember me as the days go by.
The days are hot and the nights are black,
But you've decided now; you can't turn back.
For once you've felt the burn of truth,
You can say goodbye to innocent youth.
You're all alone but you don't mind,
Except for the love you left behind.
But I don't feel that you're very far,
Until I look up and see a star.
You see the star as the lone wolf howls,
As you spend the night with the snakes and owls,
Oh, how can this star I see each day
Be the same you watch so far away?
But you're a traveller now, and past is past;
Who knows if you'll come home at last?
Yet for my love I will wait here
Be it many the long, long year.
Your road is dangerous and long-
It's everything you feared gone wrong,
But keep on walking and don't you cry,
And don't forget me as the years go by.
