about

Influenced by walking in the countryside, The Road is about the journey that is life, and finding your own way through it, all the people you meet, leave, and sometimes rejoin along the way. Released and available on 31st March, it gives a taster of what to expect from our upcoming second EP due out in Summer 2023.

lyrics

This road's laid out for us
So don't stray too far
As we've no compass or guide
We can only navigate by the stars
But where you lead I will follow
We'll go where the wind blows
Like faithful friends we have known
That have taken other roads

At some point we may lose our way home
And if that time does come I pray I'm not alone

'cause I can picture you in my mind
But like a silent movie the sound's now lost to time
And as the tape ages I find
The picture is degrading
To history you're consigned

I fear that I must tread this path alone
A wandering soul in the darkness
seeking out it's home

Will you walk with me?
Will you walk with me?

The ivy encroaches on the stone
Through the cracks in the road
The weeds have sprouted up and grown
Though it's not where we're bound
They say all roads lead to Rome

All those we've left behind
The wrong turns we've made
I won't regret the path I've taken
Or the tolls I've paid

'cause you walked for a time on this very same road
Our paths diverge for now
So until the next crossroads

At some point we may lose our way home
And if that time does come I pray I'm not alone
'cause I can picture you in my mind
But like a silent movie the sound's now lost to time
And as the tape ages I find
The picture is degrading
To history you're consigned

I fear that I must tread this path alone
A wandering soul in the darkness seeking out it's home

Will you walk with me?
Will you walk with me?
Will you walk with me?
Will you walk with me?
