The By & By

There is a road
That I must follow
(Follow)
I have somewhere that I must to go
(Go)
And on that road
There will be sorrow
(sorrow)
Where evil speaks, the grass grows

And I will take my time 'round the dirt that winds
Little do they know I've been here before

There is a road
That I must follow
(Follow)
I have somewhere that I need to be
(Be)
And on that road
I can hear the tell
(The tell)
Of demons lurking behind the trees

And I will take my time 'round the dirt that winds
Little do they know I've been here before
And I will stop to smell the thorns that pierce my cheek
I feel so much, I can't feel a thing
No, I can't feel a thing

This is the road
That I must travel
(Travel)
Somewhere beyond the darkened veil
(Veil)
And on this road
There lies tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
Behind the man standing at the crossroads

And I will take my time 'round the dirt that winds
Little do they know I've been here before
And I will play my heart to the gnarled cane
And I will pray that he will sing
That he will sing
