Low Lantern Road | The Long Way Home | Track 06-14 | 1970

There’s a glow along the hedgerow, Soft as breath on winter glass. I can hear the gravel shifting Like it’s whispering the past. Every step’s a faded memory, Every mile a borrowed load — Walking down the quiet shimmer Of that low lantern road. On the low lantern road, Where the shadows sway and fold, I can hear the night unfold In a story left untold. On the low lantern road, Where the silence starts to show All the things I used to know But somehow let go. There’s a hum beneath the branches, Like a song that lost its tune. I can feel it growing nearer Like a half-remembered truth. All the letters left unanswered, All the lines we never wrote — Drifting through the amber dimness Of that low lantern road. On the low lantern road, Where the shadows sway and fold, I can hear the night unfold In a story left untold. On the low lantern road, Where the silence starts to show All the things I used to know But somehow let go. One light flickers, One heart lingers, One road pulling at my hands. I keep on walking, Barely talking, Trying to understand. On the low lantern road, Where the past feels warm and cold, Every truth we never told Comes drifting back slow. On the low lantern road… That’s where I go.
