The Narrow Way (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969)

[Verse 1]

Following the path as it leads towards

The darkness in the north

Weary stranger’s faces show their sympathy

They’ve seen that hope before

[Chorus]

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

For you the night is beckoning

And now you can’t delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can’t catch the words they say

Close your ears and eyes, be on your way

[Verse 2]

Mist is swirling, creatures crawling

Hear the roar get louder in your ears

You know the folly was your own

But the force behind can’t conquer all you fears

[Chorus]

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

For you the night is beckoning

And now you can’t delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can’t catch the words they say

Close your ears and eyes, be on your way

[Verse 3]

Throw your thoughts back many years

To the time when love was life with every morning

Perhaps a day will come

When the lights will be as clear as on that morning

[Chorus]

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

For you the night is beckoning

And now you can’t delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can’t catch the words they say

Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
