lyrics

To Market ~

Over the hills to the east there’s peace
Or so someone said
Many years ago
And is it true or just a legend
So many times I was told what to be
To stay in the lines
And never look outside the open door
And do not question

So long my friends I’m leaving today
To market, to market
Along the road I’ll go
Lonely standing sign showing me the way
Westward bound I sadly turn away
From the hills where secrets lie

Passing the sweet green fields
The lands I once knew are far behind
A memory now
They’re just a memory now
And the road stretches so far ahead
And what’s to come and where will I be tomorrow
Born to follow
Why should I dream of another life
Perhaps I’ll wait a little while
And think about this thought
And the hills

Run the race you’re made for or run away
I am lost yet I am free
Which way will the wind blow
It’s getting dark
Will I find my way

I can’t find my way home
I can’t find my way home

The light it has shown me
Away in the distance I see
Seven Valleys framed in gold
Mystic rivers to behold
And the hills, the hills are there
Silent standing
Calling me on towards the rising sun

So I run far across the land
Like I've never run before
To my freedom, freedom

Now the day is gone
The journey goes on
