Oh, The Endless Fog! Lyrics

The winding road
the endless fog
the thought of finally sitting down
staying in when it is snowing
the heavy load
the faithful dog
you can send them on without me
they are eager to be going

close the door

i'm not so old
i act so old
must straighten up and soldier on
give no care to what they're thinking
you never know, you think you know
you know so much, it all pulls up
you just take it and keep going

close the door

the winding road
the endless fog
were we ever at the start?
are you sure what you remember?
you look ahead, it looks the same
as what you left
the longest road
the lovely coals
the glowing embers

sit down, sit down
you will rest
there will be time for wandering off
you've done so well
sit down, sits down
the road will wait, the road will wait
it winds without us for a day
it's too cold out anyway
