	This is the farewell song on the CD. It's a gentle acoustic song with a simple melody. The song has a strong celtic influence, though the finger-style guitar playing is entirely folk.

	Story Behind the Song This song is a declaration of determination in the midst of difficult circumstances. The journey of life has many unpredictable ups and downs, and the only way to get through it is to keep putting one foot in front of the other. The melody and structure of the song was written in a little more than an hour one evening, which is a rare thing for me. Originally I had a different set of lyrics, but I re-wrote them and re-recorded the vocals at the very end of the recording process. Lyrics The road goes ever on and on and on The road goes ever on and on and on The road goes ever on and on The journey only just began A thousand miles may lie beyond But I will walk them if I can On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on The road goes ever on and on and on The road goes ever on and on and on I have the sun to be my guide The wind shall clear the lonely way ‘Til all that’s passed is far behind But what’s ahead, I cannot say On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on If a dark night should come my way I’ll hum a new tune ‘til the break of day And if a sorrow cloud should fall Each step shall lead the next one on The clouds will break, the sun appear I’ll leave behind the day of tears I’ll leave behind the day of tears On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on The road goes ever on and on and on The road goes ever on and on and on The road goes ever on and on The journey only just began A thousand miles may lie beyond But I will walk them if I can Every morning I will rise Walk through cold or rain or heat Until one day I see the light Eternal rest and sleep to meet On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on
