Voices of Youth Lyrics by Holly Arrowsmith

For the Weary Traveller

2015

[Verse 1]
I sit alone in this chair some days
Thinking bout my life thinking bout my ways
There are too many questions that I don’t know the answer
Breathe in deep and I close my eyes
Walk back through the dark and the joyful times
Trying to find the spirit of my youth in there
Somehow I lost her but I don’t know where
[Chorus]
In those days long gone I felt you walking next to me
Oh please don’t leave me with my troubled mind
As company
[Verse 2]
At night we’d lay staring up in awe
We were not afraid to admit we were small
And holes in heaven’s floor lit our bare faces
We walked up rivers and drank from the streams
Balanced on bridges laid by ancient trees
Who bowed their regal heads to make a way
And people never listened to anything we had to say
But we said it anyway
[Chorus]
In those days long gone I felt you walking next to me
Oh please don’t leave me with my troubled mind
Tormenting me
[Verse 3]
Now we all have jobs and we all pay rent
And we all ask each other where our time got spent
And business plagues the streets like a disease
And if one man stops and asks "Well why?"
"What’s it all for when I die?"
The rest all shake their heads and say "Don’t speak!"
"Seeking meaning's for the weak!"
Well you can call me weak
[Chorus]
In those days long gone I felt you walking next to me
Oh please don‘t leave me with my troubled mind
A wandering
[Verse 4]
Voices of youth call out to me
"Come back," they say "Don’t walk away!"
Im trying with all my strength not to let go
But theres a truth I know, the ties are strong
From those very days I have grown
And if I ever come undone, one day it’s certain
We will be tied together once again
I hope my foolishness will never sever us, my friend
