verse 1 
Dm 
The sea came in and washed me out 
Dm 
The way was carved in ice 
C 
The tokens of a buried past 
F                 C 
The shavings of a heavy life 
Dm 
The wind blows each and every way 
Dm 
It's not for me, my heart, to steer 
C 
I cast up what I have each day 
F                   C 
The river flows the whole long year 

Dm                  F 
Hard road under the night sky 
        C                     Dm 
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love 
Dm                  F

verse 2 
Dm 
The fires moved my heart so far 
Dm 
Now colours can't be seen 
C 
The distant call of far-off stars 
F                  C 
Haunting o'er what might have been 
Dm 
And all, an ending was begun 
Dm 
Come with me 'cross the care-trod floor 
C 
Come with me to the holy song 
F                        C 
And with time's passing, to the core 

Dm                  F 
Hard road under the night sky 
        C                     Dm 
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love 
Dm                  F 
Hard road under the night sky 
        C                     Dm 
Keep on travelling, fare thee well 


verse 3 
Dm 
She knows how and she knows when 
F                     C 
She's born to die and live and again 
Dm 
She goes from moor to build a nest 
F                        C 
She knows the dance that burns her best 
Dm 
From the ashes, fair to share 
F                    C 
The purest sounds to leaden heads 
Dm 
Sung from her best and bends the old trees 
F                 C 
Wingèd wind songs sung so holy 

Dm                  F 
Hard road under the night sky 
        C                     Dm 
Keep on travelling, fare thee well my love
