[Verse 1] I arrived in the quiet, ‘neath a wide morning sky With nothing but breath and a new-born cry No pockets for silver, no bags for gold Just a spirit to wander, and a story to be told [Chorus] Oh, the road is a long one, but the burden is light You can’t carry the shadows, you can’t hold the light With nothing you started, with nothing you’ll go Like the mist on the mountain, or the melting of snow [Verse 2] I built me a cabin, I fenced in the land I tried to hoard time like the grains of the sand But the wind doesn’t care for the walls so high And the earth only asks for a soft place to lie [Outro] Empty hands at the start... Empty hands at the end... Just a traveler passing through, my friend.
