Lyrics
ON MY WAY
Words and Music ©2014 Bill O'Brien
Well I know I'm on my way Round the bend I'll fade away
What I'd give that I could stay in your town
Now that time goes so fast most of mine is in the past
Like sand gone through an hourglass to the ground
I was up on May Pond Hill In the early evening still
The Green Mountains turned to blue
I want to stay here with you
This could all just be a dream Can't believe half the things I've seen
Just an illusion that doesn't mean anything
Or maybe someone else's show
Where the ending's not ours to know
But I'll stay until I have to go From your town
I looked out to Wheeler Mountain A green carpet in the sky
The moon rose slowly I don't want to say goodbye
Well I know I'm on my way 'Round the bend I'll fade away
What I'd give that I could stay in your town
