Our Old Promise
I am footsore and weary
But I travel to meet a friend
The way is long and dreary
But I know it soon must end
I'm bound by our old promise
What can break that golden chain
Not the lightning flashing silent
Or the thunder or the rain
I'm traveling fast like a whirlwind
And though I creep so slowly on
I'm drawing nearer and nearer and nearer
And the journey's almost done
If I could go back I'd run
Tell you all the good things to come
That though no eyes may see it
I've toiled through sunny woodland
Over fields that basked in light
Through the lone paths in the forest
I have crept through dead of night
If I could go back I'd run
Tell you all the good things you done
Run to your door once more and beat it like
A drum
But I travel to meet a friend
The way is long and dreary
But I know it soon must end
I'm bound by our old promise
What can break that golden chain
Not the lightning flashing silent
Or the thunder or the rain
I'm traveling fast like a whirlwind
And though I creep so slowly on
I'm drawing nearer and nearer and nearer
And the journey's almost done
If I could go back I'd run
Tell you all the good things to come
That though no eyes may see it
I've toiled through sunny woodland
Over fields that basked in light
Through the lone paths in the forest
I have crept through dead of night
If I could go back I'd run
Tell you all the good things you done
Run to your door once more and beat it like
A drum
