The Lane

The Lane

There is a lane, which has no turning

Just ahead of me always.

There is a lane, which has no turning,

I've searched for it for days and days.

I've walked along the path of life,

Looking for this lovely lane,

But all I've found are curves and turns

And walks across the lonely plain.

If I could find this lane,

They say that has no turning,

Then perhaps I could lay to rest,

This cold and fearful yearning.

They say that if down this lane,

With your love you take a stroll.

Then your life forever changes,

And never again shall you be cold.
